    Familial and sporadic porokeratosis are associated with germline heterozygous mutations in mevalonate pathway genes. Kubo et al. show that each skin lesion of disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis originates from a postnatal keratinocyte clone with a different second-hit genetic event in the wild-type allele of the corresponding gene. They also confirm that linear porokeratosis derives from a single prenatal clone of keratinocytes with a second-hit genetic event.
