- Abstract
Genodermatoses are genetically inherited dermatologic conditions. The management of cutaneous findings in genodermatoses is challenging, and first-line therapies, such as steroids and/or retinoids, are often inadequate. In recent years, research on the molecular basis of genodermatoses has led to the use of biologic therapies for intractable disease. Here, we review the evidence regarding the use of available biologic therapies for the management of dermatologic findings in genodermatoses. Biologic therapies appear to be promising therapeutic options for several recalcitrant genodermatoses, especially those with underlying immune dysregulation. However, not all genodermatoses are amenable to biologic therapies, and some have been shown to paradoxically worsen under treatment. Biologic therapies offer a novel avenue to target refractory genodermatoses. However, evidence supporting the use of biologic therapies in the management of genodermatoses is mostly limited to case reports and case series. Further studies are warranted to determine the safety and efficacy of biologic therapies for the management of cutaneous findings in genodermatoses.
