Collodion Baby with TGM1 gene mutation.

ABSTRACT: Collodion baby (CB) is normally diagnosed at the time of birth and refers to a newborn infant that is delivered with a lambskin-like membrane encompassing the total body surface. CB is not a specific disease entity, but is a common phenotype in conditions like harlequin ichthyosis, lamellar ichthyosis, nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, and trichothiodystrophy. We report a CB that was brought to our department and later diagnosed to have TGM1 gene c.984+1G>A mutation. However, it could not be ascertained whether the infant had lamellar ichthyosis or congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (both having the same mutation). The infant was lost to follow-up.

Report of a Novel ALOX12B Mutation in Self-Improving Collodion Ichthyosis with an Overview of the Genetic Background of the Collodion Baby Phenotype.

Project description:Collodion baby is a congenital, transient phenotype encountered in approximately 70-90% of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis and is an important entity of neonatal erythroderma. The clinical outcome after this severe condition is variable. Genetic mutations of components of the epidermal lipoxygenase pathway have been implicated in the majority of self-improving collodion ichthyosis (SICI). In SICI, the shedding of the collodion membrane reveals clear skin or only mild residual manifestation of ichthyosis. Here we report the case of a girl born with a severe form of collodion baby phenotype, whose skin almost completely cleared within the first month of life. At the age of 3 years, only mild symptoms of a keratinization disorder remained. However, the severity of erythema and scaling showed mild fluctuations over time. To objectively evaluate the skin changes of the patient, we assessed the ichthyosis severity index. Upon sequencing of the ALOX12B gene, we identified a previously unreported heterozygous nonsense mutation, c.1607G>A (p.Trp536Ter) with the recurrent, heterozygous mutation c.1562A>G (p.Tyr521Cys). Thereby, our findings expand the genotypic spectrum of SICI. In addition, we summarize the spectrum of further genetic diseases that can present at birth as collodion baby, in particular the SICI.

Ischemic Risk in Collodion Baby: An Orthopaedic Perspective.

Project description:Collodion baby is a rare condition in which the baby is born surrounded by membranes called collodion membranes. The evolution of these membranes is towards cracking and peeling. Sometimes, retraction leads to hypoperfusion or ischemia (especially of fingers and toes). In case of acute ischemia, surgery is necessary. We report the case of a newborn in which surgery was necessary to free both fingers and toes from constrictive bands responsible for ischemia. In the absence of surgery, the constrictive bands can lead to amputation (pseudoainhum). The purpose of this case report is to expose the management and the role of an orthopaedic surgeon in the treatment of a collodion baby.

Collodion baby treated at a tertiary hospital in Tanzania: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The term "collodion baby" is used to describe a newborn covered with a translucent, parchment-like skin sheet. It is an extremely rare condition with an estimated incidence of 1 in 300,000 live births. Clinically, the baby will present with a collodion membrane with fissures, ectropium, eclabium, and hypoplastic digits. Shedding of the membrane increases risk of dehydration and infection. CASE PRESENTATION:We present the case of an African baby girl, who died when she was 7-months old, who presented with features of collodion membrane at birth. She later developed hypernatremic dehydration and a constricted band on her lower limb that required urgent surgical release. She stayed in our hospital for 35 days; she was then discharged home after improvement for 6 months of follow-up clinics at Muhimbili National Hospital: neonatal; dermatology; ear, nose, and throat; and physiotherapy units. She died at 7 months of age. CONCLUSION:Despite limited resources, the early survival of these babies can be improved by providing basic care.

Correction of the pathogenic mutation in TGM1 gene by adenine base editing in mutant embryos.

Project description:A couple diagnosed as carriers for lamellar ichthyosis, an autosomal recessive rare disease, encountered two pregnancy losses. Their blood samples showed the same heterozygous c.607C>T mutation in the TGM1 gene. However, we found that about 98.4% of the sperm had mutations, suggesting possible de novo germline mutation. To explore the probability of correcting this mutation, we used two different adenine base editors (ABEs) combined with related truncated single guide RNA (sgRNA) to repair the pathogenic mutation in mutant zygotes. Our results showed that the editing efficiency was 73.8% for ABEmax-NG combined with 20-bp-length sgRNA and 78.7% for Sc-ABEmax combined with 19-bp-length sgRNA. The whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and deep sequencing analysis demonstrated precise DNA editing. This study reveals the possibility of correcting the genetic mutation in embryos with the ABE system.

Congenital lamellar ichthyosis in Tunisia is caused by a founder nonsense mutation in the TGM1 gene.

Project description:Lamellar ichthyosis (LI, MIM# 242300) is a severe autosomal recessive genodermatosis present at birth in the form of collodion membrane covering the neonate. Mutations in the TGM1 gene encoding transglutaminase-1 are a major cause of LI. In this study molecular analysis of two LI Tunisian patients revealed a common nonsense c.788G>A mutation in TGM1 gene. The identification of a cluster of LI pedigrees carrying the c.788G>A mutation in a specific area raises the question of the origin of this mutation from a common ancestor. We carried out a haplotype-based analysis by way of genotyping 4 microsatellite markers and 8 SNPs flanking and within the TGM1 gene spanning a region of 6 Mb. Haplotype reconstruction from genotypes of all members of the affected pedigrees indicated that all carriers for the mutation c.788G>A harbored the same haplotype, indicating common ancestor. The finding of a founder effect in a rare disease is essential for the genetic diagnosis and the genetic counselling of affected LI pedigrees in Tunisia.

A collodion baby with facial dysmorphism, limb anomalies, pachygyria and genital hypoplasia: a mild form of Neu-laxova syndrome or a new entity?

Project description:Neu-Laxova syndrome is a rare, lethal, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, central nervous system anomalies, skin findings, such as ichthyosis, edema, collodion baby and harlequin fetus, facial dysmorphic features, limb anomalies and genital hypoplasia. Although it is generally a lethal condition, cases of such patients who lived beyond 6 months and 10 months of age have been reported. Here, we describe an 8-year-old boy who was born with collodion membrane, facial dysmorphic features, limb anomalies, genital hypoplasia and pachygyria. He had no major health problems over the course of 8 years of follow-up, except for mild mental/motor retardation, ichthyosis, facial dysmorphic features and limb anomalies. Based on these features, we suggest that because Neu-Laxova syndrome represents a heterogeneous phenotype, our case may be a milder variant of this syndrome or a new genetic entity.

A cellular disease model toward gene therapy of TGM1-dependent lamellar ichthyosis.

Project description:Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is a chronic disease, mostly caused by mutations in the TGM1 gene, marked by impaired skin barrier formation. No definitive therapies are available, and current treatments aim at symptomatic relief. LI mouse models often fail to faithfully replicate the clinical and histopathological features of human skin conditions. To develop advanced therapeutic approaches, such as combined ex vivo cell and gene therapy, we established a human cellular model of LI by efficient CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene ablation of the TGM1 gene in human primary clonogenic keratinocytes. Gene-edited cells showed complete absence of transglutaminase 1 (TG1) expression and recapitulated a hyperkeratotic phenotype with most of the molecular hallmarks of LI in vitro. Using a self-inactivating γ-retroviral (SINγ-RV) vector expressing transgenic TGM1 under the control of its own promoter, we tested an ex vivo gene therapy approach and validate the model of LI as a platform for pre-clinical evaluation studies. Gene-corrected TGM1-null keratinocytes displayed proper TG1 expression, enzymatic activity, and cornified envelope formation and, hence, restored proper epidermal architecture. Single-cell multiomics analysis demonstrated proviral integrations in holoclone-forming epidermal stem cells, which are crucial for epidermal regeneration. This study serves as a proof of concept for assessing the potential of this therapeutic approach in treating TGM1-dependent LI.

Biogeographical origin and timing of the founder ichthyosis TGM1 c.1187G > A mutation in an isolated Ecuadorian population.

Project description:An unusually high frequency of the lamellar ichthyosis TGM1 mutation, c.1187G > A, has been observed in the Ecuadorian province of Manabí. Recently, the same mutation has been detected in a Galician patient (Northwest of Spain). By analyzing patterns of genetic variation around this mutation in Ecuadorian patients and population matched controls, we were able to estimate the age of c.1187G > A and the time to their most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of c.1187G > A Ecuadorian carriers. While the estimated mutation age is 41 generations ago (~1,025 years ago [ya]), the TMRCA of Ecuadorian c.1187G > A carrier haplotypes dates to just 17 generations (~425 ya). Probabilistic-based inferences of local ancestry allowed us to infer a most likely European origin of a few (16% to 30%) Ecuadorian haplotypes carrying this mutation. In addition, inferences on demographic historical changes based on c.1187G > A Ecuadorian carrier haplotypes estimated an exponential population growth starting ~20 generations, compatible with a recent founder effect occurring in Manabí. Two main hypotheses can be considered for the origin of c.1187G > A: (i) the mutation could have arisen in Spain >1,000 ya (being Galicia the possible homeland) and then carried to Ecuador by Spaniards in colonial times ~400 ya, and (ii) two independent mutational events originated this mutation in Ecuador and Galicia. The geographic and cultural characteristics of Manabí could have favored a founder effect that explains the high prevalence of TGM1 c.1187G > A in this region.

Tgm1-like transglutaminases in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus).

Project description:Among the adaptations of aquatic species during evolution of terrestrial tetrapods was the development of an epidermis preventing desiccation. In present day mammals, keratinocytes of the epidermis, using a membrane-bound transglutaminase (Tgm1), accomplish this function by synthesizing a scaffold of cross-linked protein to which a lipid envelope is attached. This study characterizes the abilities of two homologous transglutaminase isozymes in the teleost fish tilapia to form cross-linked protein structures and their expression in certain tissues. Results indicate they are capable of membrane localization and of generating cellular structures resistant to detergent solubilization. They are both expressed in epithelial cells of the lip, buccal cavity and tips of gill filaments. Adaptation of transglutaminase use in evolution of terrestrial keratinocytes evidently involved refinements in tissue expression, access to suitable substrate proteins and activation of cross-linking during terminal differentiation.
