Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the genetic cause for a Uyghur Chinese child with collodion skin.
METHODSG-banded chromosomal karyotyping was carried out for the child and his parents. High-throughput sequencing for 25 genes related to ichthyosis and ichthyosiform dermatosis was also performed for the child.
RESULTSNo karyotypic abnormality was found in the child and his parents. High-throughput sequencing has detected in the patient a previously described pathogenic mutation c.919C>T (p.Arg307Trp) and a novel c.856C>T (p.Arg286Trp) mutation in the TGM1 gene. By Sanger sequencing, the child was verified to have carried both mutations. His father was found to be a heterozygous carrier of the c.856C>T (p.Arg286Trp) mutation, while neither mutation was found in the mother.
CONCLUSIONCongenital ichthyosis associated with the TGM1 gene may show an autosomal recessive inheritance. The collodion condition of the child is probably due to the compound heterozygous mutations of the TGM1 gene.
