Review from Dr Anthony Vandersteen, IWK Health centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada - 'I would shift the pEDS genes (C1R C1S) to green, lots of patients and no doubt about it'

Comment on publications: Added publication to support number of cases to date with Periodontal Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Kapferer-Seebacher et al., 2016 (PMID:27745832) reported 2 unrelated families of 9 affected individuals and identified heterozygosity for missense or in-frame insertion/deletion mutations in the C1S gene. It was found that the variants segregated with disease in the families and neither was found in the ExAC, 1000 Genomes Project, ClinVar, or dbSNP (March 2016) databases. It was noted that heterozygous C1S variants identified in pEDS-affected individuals appeared to have gain-of-function effects.

Periodontal EDS is a distinct clinical entity shown to be caused by alterations in the genes C1S and C1R, the genes encode complement 1 subunits C1r and C1s.The cardinal clinical feature is severe early-onset periodontitis with marked gingival recessions that in some individuals affects primary teeth. In contrast to individuals with non-syndromic chronic or aggressive periodontitis, those with pEDS have strikingly thin and fragile oral soft tissue with absence of attached gingiva (PMID:28306225).

In relation to the EDS pathogenetic scheme, C1S belongs to 'Disorders of complement pathway'. The scheme regroups EDS subtypes for which the proteins, coded by the causative genes, function within the same pathway, and which are likely to have shared pathogenic mechanisms, based on current knowledge.
