OBJECTIVES: To investigate a novel mutation in CDSN. METHODS: A 50-year-old white woman showed widespread peeling with erythema and elevated serum IgE. DNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry, Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses of skin biopsies were performed in order to study the genetics and to characterize the molecular profile of the disease. RESULTS: Histology showed hyperkeratosis and acanthosis of the epidermis, and inflammatory infiltrates in the dermis. DNA sequencing revealed a homozygous mutation leading to a premature termination codon in CDSN: p.Gly142*. Protein analyses showed reduced expression of a 16-kDa corneodesmosin mutant in the upper epidermal layers, whereas the full-length protein was absent. CONCLUSIONS: These results are interesting regarding the genotype-phenotype correlations in diseases caused by CDSN mutations. The PSD-causing CDSN mutations identified heretofore result in total corneodesmosin loss, suggesting that PSD is due to full corneodesmosin deficiency. Here, we show for the first time that a mutant corneodesmosin can be stably expressed in some patients with PSD, and that this truncated protein is very probably nonfunctional.},

abstract = {Disorders of iron metabolism are among the most common acquired and constitutive diseases. Hemochromatosis has a solid genetic basis and in Northern European populations it is usually associated with homozygosity for the C282Y mutation in the HFE protein. However, the penetrance of this mutation is incomplete and the clinical presentation is highly variable. The rare and common variants identified so far as genetic modifiers of HFE-related hemochromatosis are unable to account for the phenotypic heterogeneity of this disorder. There are wide variations in the basal iron status of common inbred mouse strains, and this diversity may reflect the genetic background of the phenotypic diversity under pathological conditions. We therefore examined the genetic basis of iron homeostasis using quantitative trait loci mapping applied to the HcB-15 recombinant congenic strains for tissue and serum iron indices. Two highly significant QTL containing either the N374S Mon1a mutation or the Ferroportin locus were found to be major determinants in spleen and liver iron loading. Interestingly, when considering possible epistatic interactions, the effects of Mon1a on macrophage iron export are conditioned by the genotype at the Slc40a1 locus. Only mice that are C57BL/10ScSnA homozygous at both loci display a lower spleen iron burden. Furthermore, the liver-iron lowering effect of the N374S Mon1a mutation is observed only in mice that display a nonsense mutation in the Ceruloplasmin (Cp) gene. This study highlights the existence of genetic interactions between Cp, Mon1a, and the Slc40a1 locus in iron metabolism, suggesting that epistasis may be a crucial determinant of the variable biological and clinical presentations in iron disorders.},

The rare and common variants identified so far as genetic modifiers of HFE-related hemochromatosis are unable to account for the phenotypic heterogeneity of this disorder. There are wide variations in the basal iron status of common inbred mouse strains, and this diversity may reflect the genetic background of the phenotypic diversity under pathological conditions. We therefore examined the genetic basis of iron homeostasis using quantitative trait loci mapping applied to the HcB-15 recombinant congenic strains for tissue and serum iron indices. Two highly significant QTL containing either the N374S Mon1a mutation or the Ferroportin locus were found to be major determinants in spleen and liver iron loading. Interestingly, when considering possible epistatic interactions, the effects of Mon1a on macrophage iron export are conditioned by the genotype at the Slc40a1 locus. Only mice that are C57BL/10ScSnA homozygous at both loci display a lower spleen iron burden. Furthermore, the liver-iron lowering effect of the N374S Mon1a mutation is observed only in mice that display a nonsense mutation in the Ceruloplasmin (Cp) gene. This study highlights the existence of genetic interactions between Cp, Mon1a, and the Slc40a1 locus in iron metabolism, suggesting that epistasis may be a crucial determinant of the variable biological and clinical presentations in iron disorders. |

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by a disturbed epidermal barrier. In a subset of patients, this is explained by nonsense mutations in the gene encoding filaggrin (FLG). OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the respective role of FLG mutations and proinflammatory cytokines and to assess the expression of FLG, hornerin (HRNR), and FLG2, 2 FLG-like proteins, which are involved in epidermal barrier functions, in normal skin and both lesional and nonlesional skin of patients with AD. METHODS: An FLG-genotyped cohort of 73 adults with AD and 73 aged-matched control subjects was analyzed by using immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Normal primary human keratinocytes were differentiated in either the absence or presence of IL-4, IL-13, and IL-25. RESULTS: Compared with control subjects, FLG, HRNR, and FLG2 were detected at significantly lower levels in the skin of patients with AD, irrespective of their FLG genotype. The reduction was greater in lesional compared with nonlesional skin. In addition, the proFLG/FLG ratio was found to be higher in the skin of wild-type patients than in control subjects. Cytokine treatment of keratinocytes induced a dramatic reduction in FLG, FLG2, and HRNR expression both at the mRNA and protein levels. CONCLUSION: The stratum corneum of lesional but also clinically unaffected skin of adults with AD is abnormal, with reduced expression of FLG and FLG-like proteins. In addition to nonsense mutations, proinflammatory cytokines and some defects in the proFLG processing can contribute to the FLG downregulation. Our study suggests that skin inflammation reduces the expression of FLG-like proteins, contributing to the AD-related epidermal barrier dysfunction.},
