## Overview

[edit | edit source]

Meleda disease (MDM) or "mal de Meleda", also called Mljet disease, keratosis palmoplantaris and transgradiens of siemens,[1] (also known as "Acral keratoderma,"[2] "Mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma of the Gamborg-Nielsen type,"[2] "Palmoplantar ectodermal dysplasia type VIII",[2]:508 and "Palmoplantar keratoderma of the Norrbotten type"[3]) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive[4] congenital skin disorder in which dry, thick patches of skin develop on the soles of the hands and feet, a condition known as palmoplantar hyperkeratosis.[5]:214

## Genetic prevalence

[edit | edit source]

MDM is most common on the Dalmatian island of Mljet (or Meleda), thought to be because of a founder effect. It is of autosomal recessive inheritance. It may be caused by a mutation on the SLURP1 gene, located on chromosome 8.[6]
