Basan gets a new fingerprint: Mutations in the skin-specific isoform of SMARCAD1 cause ectodermal dysplasia syndromes with adermatoglyphia.

ABSTRACT: Basan syndrome is an autosomal dominant ectodermal dysplasia (ED) with congenital adermatoglyphia, transient neonatal acral bullae, and congenital facial milia. Autosomal dominant adermatoglyphia (ADG) is characterized as adermatoglyphia with hypohidrosis. Recently mutations in the skin-specific isoform of the gene SMARCAD1 have been found in both syndromes. This report proposes to unify these two previously distinct ED, into one syndrome. We offer a new acronym: SMARCAD syndrome (SMARCAD1-associated congenital facial Milia, Adermatoglyphia, Reduced sweating, Contractures, Acral Bullae, and Dystrophy of nails). Sanger sequencing was performed on genomic DNA from a patient with Basan syndrome using primers designed to flank SMARCAD1. Sanger sequencing revealed a novel variant, NM_001254949.1:c.-10 + 2 T > G, in the donor splice site of exon 1 of the skin-specific isoform. This variant and the other five previously reported variants in Basan syndrome and ADG are all within the same donor splice site. We conclude that Basan syndrome and ADG are on a phenotypic spectrum of a monogenic syndrome which is better described by the acronym SMARCAD syndrome.

Project description:IntroductionAn analysis was made of three different syndromes associated with p63 gene mutations, known as ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome (EEC), ankyloblepharon-ectodermal dysplasia clefting syndrome (AEC or Hay-Wells) and Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome (RHS). The postoperative complications associated with their cleft reconstructions were also evaluated.Materials and methodsExtensive demographic information, in particular of the clinical appearances, associated malformations, and the types and complications of the reconstructive surgical procedures, were recorded of these syndromic cases occurring in a database of 3621 facial cleft deformity patients. The data was analyzed using the Microsoft Excel program.ResultsA total of 10 (0.28%) cases of p63 associated syndromes were recorded: EEC (6), RHS (3), and AEC (1). The following clinical cleft appearances were noted - EEC = 6: CLA 1 -right side unilateral (female); CLAP 4 - right side (1) + left side (1) unilateral (male + female); bilateral (2) (males); hPsP 1 (female) (divided in 3 Black, 2 White, 1 Indian); RHS = 3: CLAP 2 (White males); hPsP 1 (White female); AEC = 1: CLAP bilateral (White male). Other features of the syndromes were: skin, hand, foot, tooth, hair and nail involvement, and light sensitivity. Postoperative complications included: (i) stenosis of nasal opening, especially after reconstruction of the bilateral cleft lip and the columella lengthening (2 cases), (ii) premaxilla-prolabium fusion (2 cases), (iii) repeated occurrence of oro-nasal fistula in the hard palate (4 cases), and (iv) dysgnathial development of midfacial structures (3 cases).DiscussionThree different p63 associated syndromes (EEC, AEC, and RHS) were diagnosed (0.27% of the total facial cleft deformities database). The majority of the cases presented with a bilateral CLAP in males only. A number of females and males had unilateral CLA. The hPsP-cleft was recorded in females only. The associated ectodermal component most probably had a profoundly negative influence on postoperatively wound healing, which was observed in particular at the nasal openings, the premaxilla sulcus and in the hard palate mucosa. The reconstruction of p63 associated syndromes is a greater challenge than the usual cleft reconstruction to the surgeon.
