According to the GARD , approximately EV is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, meaning that it results from mutations at specific locations on certain genes, and that the person has inherited the same mutations from both parents. Rarely, the condition can either be linked to sex, in the sense that the mutation developed on the X or Y genes, or it can be autosomal dominant — caused by a single mutated gene. Also, acquired EV has developed in people with:. These genes help facilitate the transportation of zinc in skin cells.
Zinc, meanwhile, plays an important role in immune function. Some research indicates that the mutations linked with EV may make it easier for the virus to access cellular zinc stores. The GARD also note that mutations associated with EV seem to make people extremely susceptible to infections with beta forms of HPV, which usually do not cause infection in healthy people.
However, a person can take certain steps to reduce symptoms and help limit the chances of the lesions becoming cancerous. Though there is no cure for EV, some medications, therapies, and lifestyle changes may help make symptoms more manageable and reduce the chances of complications.
Medical management options include:. Lifestyle changes that may help include:. Also, a doctor may recommend the following ways to remove growths :. If a growth is cancerous, a doctor may recommend surgery to remove it.
In some cases, this requires a skin graft. Common symptoms of SCC include:. According to GARD , people with black skin tend to have a lower chance of developing skin cancer. Most tumors associated with SCC remain local or do not spread. According to a article , the types of HPV that healthcare professionals typically associate with the development of skin cancer in people with EV are: HPV 5, 8, 17, 20, and 47 — especially types 5 and 8. In order to inherit the disease two abnormal EV genes, one from each parent, must be present.
No serious treatment against EV has been found, yet several treatments have been suggested. Notable cases include a Romanian man named Ion Toader who was diagnosed with the condition in March , and the Dede Koswara, from Indonesia. On duty doctors visited Mr Bajandar at the burn unit, where he had been admitted today.
According to the dailystar. According to local reports, the original tree-man Dede Koswara, of Indonesia, died today. In the Discovery Channel told the story Mr Koswara. In the programme, he returned home from hospital after having six kilo warts surgically removed from his body.
An American doctor had previously said the warts were the result of severe Human Pappiloma Virus HPV infection and doctors thought his type was the worst in the world. The father-of-two first noticed the warts on his body after cutting his knee as a teenager. He was later sacked from his job and shunned by neighbours when the branch-like growths covered much of his body and stopped him from working. At the time it was reported that he would need at least two operations every year.
