Journal Article
Whole exome sequencing identifies novel pathogenic variants in TGM1 and ALOX12B in patients with hereditary ichthyosis
2023
Overview
Background
Hereditary ichthyosis is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder associated with more than 50 genes with
TGM1
,
ALOX12B
, and
ALOXE3
being the most prevalent. Establishing an accurate diagnosis is important for effective genetic counseling and optimal patient management.
Objective
We studied the diagnostic value of whole exome sequencing (WES) in a small case series with hereditary ichthyosis.
Methods
During a 1-year period, index cases of 5 unrelated families clinically diagnosed with hereditary ichthyosis went through WES, followed by extensive segregation analysis. Prenatal diagnosis (PND) was conducted where indicated.
Results
We identified 4 homozygous variants-2 in
TGM1
(c.655A > G and c.797A > G) and 2 in
ALOX12B
(c.527 + 2 T > G and c.1654G > T)-alongside a heterozygous variant in TGM1 (c.428G > A) in 5 families. The variants were all pathogenic/likely pathogenic according to the ACMG classification and segregation analysis, except for c.797A > G in TGM1 which remained a variant of unknown clinical significance. Four variants were novel. All families were referred either during pregnancy or before reproductive planning; 4 benefited from WES as it identified the mutation in the probands and enabled carrier detection in at-risk relatives; PND was conducted in 2 families.
Conclusion
Our findings further support WES is a powerful tool for the comprehensive, accurate, and rapid molecular diagnosis of hereditary ichthyosis and can offer opportunities for reproductive planning, carrier screening and prenatal diagnosis to at-risk families.
