    ### Instruction:
    Is erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva inherited ?
    ### Response:
    EKVP is most often inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of an altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. In most cases, an affected person inherits the mutation from one affected parent. Other cases result from new gene mutations and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family.
