Identification of novel FATP4 mutations in a Japanese patient with ichthyosis prematurity syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by prematurity, a thick caseous scale at birth and lifelong atopic diathesis. Here, we describe the first Japanese case of IPS and report novel compound heterozygous mutations (p.C403Y and p.R510H) in fatty acid transport protein 4 (FATP4). She is the first reported patient of Asian origin, entirely distinct from the Scandinavian population, in whom the heterozygote carrier frequency is very high.

Ichthyosis Prematurity Syndrome: A Rare Form but Easily Recognizable Ichthyosis.

Project description:Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis that is associated with mutations in the SLC27A4 gene. Its onset occurs in early childhood and presents with the clinical triad of premature birth, thick caseous desquamating epidermis, and neonatal asphyxia. Here, we describe a prematurely born baby patient (33 weeks of gestation) with a homozygous variant at the initiation codon site (c.1 A> G, p.Met1Val) in the SLC27A4 gene to raise awareness of this rare syndrome despite its distinctive features as we believe it is still underdiagnosed.

Mutations in the fatty acid transport protein 4 gene cause the ichthyosis prematurity syndrome.

Project description:Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by premature birth and neonatal asphyxia, followed by a lifelong nonscaly ichthyosis with atopic manifestations. Here we show that the gene encoding the fatty acid transport protein 4 (FATP4) is mutated in individuals with IPS. Fibroblasts derived from a patient with IPS show reduced activity of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA)-CoA synthetase and a specific reduction in the incorporation of VLCFA into cellular lipids. The human phenotype is consistent with Fatp4 deficiency in mice that is characterized by a severe skin phenotype, a defective permeability barrier function, and perturbed VLCFA metabolism. Our results further emphasize the importance of fatty acid metabolism for normal epidermal barrier function illustrated by deficiency of a member in the FATP family of proteins.

Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome caused by a novel missense mutation in FATP4 gene-a case report from India.

Project description:Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) is reported mainly from Scandinavia where most of the cases are homozygous or compound heterozygous for the nonsense mutation c.504C>A (p.Cys168*) in exon3 indicating a common ancestor for this mutation. The occurrence of IPS in an Indian patient suggests that it is more widespread than previously reported.

Novel PTCH1 mutations in Japanese familial nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

Project description:Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and is characterized by a combination of developmental abnormalities and a predisposition to tumor formation. Hedgehog receptor Patched 1 (PTCH1) has been identified as the mutated gene in NBCCS. We identified the PTCH1_c.3298_3299insAAG_p.1099_1100insE mutation in the transmembrane region, which comprises a sterol transporter whose abnormal function is reportedly related to pathogenicity.

A novel CUL7 mutation in a Japanese patient with 3M syndrome.

Project description:3M syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by severe pre-natal and post-natal growth retardation, dysmorphic facial features, and skeletal abnormalities. We present a patient with 3M syndrome caused by the compound heterozygous mutations p.Trp68* and p.Gly1452Asp in CUL7, the latter of which is novel, who exhibited a good body height response to growth hormone treatment. These results expand our knowledge of phenotype-genotype correlations in 3M syndrome, including correlations relevant to growth hormone response.

Revertant mosaicism repairs skin lesions in a patient with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome by second-site mutations in connexin 26.

Project description:Revertant mosaicism (RM) is a naturally occurring phenomenon where the pathogenic effect of a germline mutation is corrected by a second somatic event. Development of healthy-looking skin due to RM has been observed in patients with various inherited skin disorders, but not in connexin-related disease. We aimed to clarify the underlying molecular mechanisms of suspected RM in the skin of a patient with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome. The patient was diagnosed with KID syndrome due to characteristic skin lesions, hearing deficiency and keratitis. Investigation of GJB2 encoding connexin (Cx) 26 revealed heterozygosity for the recurrent de novo germline mutation, c.148G > A, p.Asp50Asn. At age 20, the patient developed spots of healthy-looking skin that grew in size and number within widespread erythrokeratodermic lesions. Ultra-deep sequencing of two healthy-looking skin biopsies identified five somatic nonsynonymous mutations, independently present in cis with the p.Asp50Asn mutation. Functional studies of Cx26 in HeLa cells revealed co-expression of Cx26-Asp50Asn and wild-type Cx26 in gap junction channel plaques. However, Cx26-Asp50Asn with the second-site mutations identified in the patient displayed no formation of gap junction channel plaques. We argue that the second-site mutations independently inhibit Cx26-Asp50Asn expression in gap junction channels, reverting the dominant negative effect of the p.Asp50Asn mutation. To our knowledge, this is the first time RM has been reported to result in the development of healthy-looking skin in a patient with KID syndrome.

Pathological hemichannels associated with human Cx26 mutations causing Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness syndrome.

Project description:Connexin (Cx) proteins form intercellular gap junction channels by first assembling into single membrane hemichannels that then dock to connect the cytoplasm of two adjacent cells. Gap junctions are highly specialized structures that allow the direct passage of small molecules between cells to maintain tissue homeostasis. Functional activity of nonjunctional hemichannels has now been shown in several experimental systems. Hemichannels may constitute an important diffusional exchange pathway with the extracellular space, but the extent of their normal physiological role is currently unknown. Aberrant hemichannel activity has been linked to mutations of connexin proteins involved in genetic diseases. Here, we review a proposed role for hemichannels in the pathogenesis of Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness (KID) syndrome associated with connexin26 (Cx26) mutations. Continued functional evaluation of mutated hemichannels linked to human hereditary disorders may provide additional insights into the mechanisms governing their regulation in normal physiology and dysregulation in disease. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The Communicating junctions, composition, structure and characteristics.

Novel mutations in the COL2A1 gene in Japanese patients with Stickler syndrome.

Project description:Stickler syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disorder that affects the eyes, cartilage and articular tissues. The phenotypes of Stickler syndrome include congenital high myopia, retinal detachment, premature joint degeneration, hearing impairment and craniofacial anomalies, such as cleft palate and midline facial hypoplasia. The disease is genetically heterogeneous, and the majority of the cases are caused by mutations in the COL2A1 gene. We examined 40 Japanese patients with Stickler syndrome from 23 families to determine whether they had mutations in the COL2A1 gene. This analysis was conducted by examining each patient's genomic DNA by Sanger sequencing. Five nonsense, 4 splicing and 8 deletion mutations in the COL2A1 gene were identified, accounting for 21 of the 23 families. Different mutations of the COL2A1 gene were associated with similar phenotypes but with different degrees of expressivity.

Compound heterozygous mutations with novel missense ABCA12 mutation in harlequin ichthyosis.

Project description:Harlequin ichthyosis (HI) is the most severe form of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, presenting at birth with distinctive facial features and thick, plate-like scales over the entire body. The abnormal skin barrier predisposes the patient to multiple complications, including dehydration and sepsis. Mortality rates of babies with HI have been greatly reduced since the introduction of systemic retinoid therapy. Mutations in ABCA12 have been found to lead to HI. Most of these mutations are truncation or deletion mutations in the conserved region of the protein, leading to severe loss of ABCA12 function. We report a case of HI caused by a compound heterozygous mutation (a known single nucleotide deletion and a novel single nucleotide substitution) in the ABCA12 gene.
