Identification of a novel nonsense ATP2A2 gene variant in a patient with Darier’s disease flare following COVID-19 infection: A case report

Darier disease (DD) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that primarily manifests as hyperkeratotic papules and itching. The underlying etiology of DD is pathogenic variation in the ATP2A2 gene. However, this disease has a high penetrance but variable expressivity, indicating that patients inheriting the genotype may have different manifestations due to exogenous factors. Meanwhile, a few reports have documented that COVID-19 may be implicated in the flare of DD.
