TREEMAN DISEASE-HOW IT OCCURS?

see the picture below.how terrible it is?

 






















What is this disease?


 It is called as LEWANDOWSKY-LUTZ DYSPLASIA Or EPIDERMODYSPLASIA VERRUCIFORMIS

It is related to mutation in EVER1 and EVER2 GENES in chromosome 17.the function of the gene is controlling the release of zinc from cellular stores.we know that zinc is a co factor in the synthesis of viral protein,hence a major role in viral multiplication.because of mutation in EVER1and EVER2 genes,there is no controll in the availability of zinc for viral protein synthesis,unchecked viral growth occurs resulting in LEWANDOWSKY-LUTZ DYSPLASIA


surgery is difficult because of profused blood supply.it can be controlled with antivirals and interferons.anyway hundred percent cure is difficult.ongoing researches are going on this topic.hope more information will be available soon.
Thank you friends

They conducted a CT scan with that skull.To their surprise they found teeth in that fossil mandiable.Now we can firmly believe what we have studied.The presence of precautious dentition in newborn adds to this evidence too.
