Palmoplantar keratoderma and erythrokeratodermas
Gene: DSC2
Comment when marking as ready: Discussed with Helen Brittain, and green rating agreed.Created: 3 Apr 2017, 9:04 a.m.
Comment on list classification: After discussion with Helen Brittain, kept rating as Green: The desmosomal genes are included in the eligibility statement "Striate keratoderma with woolly hair: cardiac panel including desmosomal genes", and (unlike DES and DSG2) DSC2 is linked to the keratoderma phenotype. Although there is borderline number of cases (3 patients, 2 families), the phenotype is in-keeping with the role of the gene product in cell:cell adhesion. Therefore, Helen agrees that the rating should be Green for biallelic cases.Created: 3 Apr 2017, 9:02 a.m.
Comment on mode of inheritance: Recorded mode of inheritance as 'Biallelic' to match reviewer suggestion: Although OMIM records both biallelic and monoallelic DSC2 mutations for 'Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 11 with mild palmoplantar keratoderma and woolly hair' (OMIM:610476), the reported cases (PMID:18957847 and PMID:23863954) identify homozygous mutations. Heterozygous mutations are noted for 'Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 11' (also OMIM:610476) but these don't include the relevant PPK phenotype.Created: 10 Jan 2017, 2:32 p.m.
Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Amber to Green: DSC2 is included in the 'Prior genetic testing' list of the Eligibility statement. Only 2 papers (PMID:18957847 with 2 siblings, and PMID:23863954 where one individual is reported with mild palmoplantar hyperkeratosis).Created: 10 Jan 2017, 2:19 p.m.
In PMID:23863954 (2013), Gerull et al., identified homozygosity for a nonsense mutation in the DSC2 gene (c.1660C>T , Q554X) in 6 affected individuals from 2 Canadian Hutterite kindreds with ARVC that segregated fully with disease in both families. Mild palmoplantar hyperkeratosis was observed in one of the Canadian patients, who had normal hair.

Comment on publications: PMID:18957847 (Simpson et al., 2009) report 2 Pakistani siblings who present with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and associated mild palmoplantar keratoderma and woolly hair. Sequence analysis revealed a homozygous single-base deletion in exon 12 (1841delG). This mutation is predicted to lead to a frame shift and a premature termination codon at position 625 (S614fsX625). The unaffected first-cousin parents and an unaffected sister were heterozygous carriers of the mutation, which was not found in 300 control chromosomes.Created: 5 Jan 2017, 4:53 p.m.
