Ectodermal dysplasia
Gene: TUFT1
Comment on list classification: This gene should be rated AMBER despite having three unrelated cases, as the variant found in two families is a founder variant in the Irish population.Created: 1 Jun 2023, 6:46 p.m. | Last Modified: 1 Jun 2023, 6:46 p.m.

PMID:36689522 reported nine individuals from three different families with biallelic variants in TUFT1 gene and presenting with woolly hair and skin fragility. One donor splice-site variant, c.60+1G>A, was present in two families, while a frameshift variant, p.Gln189Asnfs*49, was found in the third family. Haplotype analysis showed the c.60+1G>A variant is a founder variant in the Irish population. This is also supported by functional studies, mainly expression studies.
This gene has not yet been associated with any phenotypes in OMIM or in Gene2Phenotype.
