The International PC Research Registry collects patient data on pachyonychia congenita and other rare skin conditions with palmoplantar keratoderma which guides research and drug development.
If you have a specific data inquiry or would like to request permission to use PC Project’s data, please contact us at info@pachyonychia.org. For information on other palmoplantar keratoderma disorders in the registry, visit the other-conditions-with-painful-ppk page.
