Two new loci for autosomal recessive ichthyosis on chromosomes 3p21 and 19p12-q12 and evidence for further genetic heterogeneity.

ABSTRACT: Autosomal recessive ichthyosis (ARI) includes a heterogeneous group of disorders of keratinization characterized by desquamation over the whole body. Two forms largely limited to the skin have been defined: lamellar ichthyosis (LI) and nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE). A first gene for LI, transglutaminase TGM1, has been identified on chromosome 14, and a second one has been localized on chromosome 2. In a genomewide scan of nine large consanguineous families, using homozygosity mapping, two new loci for ARI were found, one for a lamellar form in a 6-cM interval on chromosome 19 and a second for an erythrodermic form in a 7.7-cM interval on chromosome 3. Linkage to one of the four loci could be demonstrated in more than half of 51 consanguineous families, most of them from the Mediterranean basin. All four loci could be excluded in the others, implying further genetic heterogeneity in this disorder. Multipoint linkage analysis gave maximal LOD scores of 11.25 at locus D19S566 and 8.53 at locus D3S3564.

Project description:A subset of hereditary cerebellar ataxias is inherited as autosomal recessive traits (ARCAs). Classification of recessive ataxias due to phenotypic differences in the cerebellum and cerebellar structures is constantly evolving due to new identified disease genes. Recently, reports have linked mutations in genes involved in ubiquitination (RNF216, OTUD4, STUB1) to ARCA with hypogonadism.With a combination of homozygozity mapping and exome sequencing, we identified three mutations in STUB1 in two families with ARCA and cognitive impairment; a homozygous missense variant (c.194A?>?G, p.Asn65Ser) that segregated in three affected siblings, and a missense change (c.82G?>?A, p.Glu28Lys) which was inherited in trans with a nonsense mutation (c.430A?>?T, p.Lys144Ter) in another patient. STUB1 encodes CHIP (C-terminus of Heat shock protein 70 - Interacting Protein), a dual function protein with a role in ubiquitination as a co-chaperone with heat shock proteins, and as an E3 ligase. We show that the p.Asn65Ser substitution impairs CHIP's ability to ubiquitinate HSC70 in vitro, despite being able to self-ubiquitinate. These results are consistent with previous studies highlighting this as a critical residue for the interaction between CHIP and its co-chaperones. Furthermore, we show that the levels of CHIP are strongly reduced in vivo in patients' fibroblasts compared to controls.These results suggest that STUB1 mutations might cause disease by impacting not only the E3 ligase function, but also its protein interaction properties and protein amount. Whether the clinical heterogeneity seen in STUB1 ARCA can be related to the location of the mutations remains to be understood, but interestingly, all siblings with the p.Asn65Ser substitution showed a marked appearance of accelerated aging not previously described in STUB1 related ARCA, none display hormonal aberrations/clinical hypogonadism while some affected family members had diabetes, alopecia, uveitis and ulcerative colitis, further refining the spectrum of STUB1 related disease.
