Abstract: We report a case of linear porokeratosis (LP). Genetic testing showed that the patient had a heterozygous mutation of c.683G>A (NM_002461) in the MVD gene, and his brother carried the same heterozygous mutation but did not have clinical phenotype. The phenomenon mainly arised from the fact that LP is a Mosaic disease which a postnatal somatic second-hit is a key factor in pathogenesis.

Key words: linear porokeratosis, MVD gene, mutation, second-hit
