Palmoplantar keratodermas v4.8 NECTIN4 Ida Ertmanska commented on gene: NECTIN4: Comment on list classification: Ectodermal dysplasia-syndactyly syndrome 1 has a variable presentation, mostly commonly including hair and dental abnormalities, as well as cutaneous syndactyly. There are at least 26 individuals from 3 unrelated families described in literature with biallelic NECTIN4 variants and palmoplantar keratoderma (PMIDs: 21346770, 34067522, 37183149). Based on the available evidence, NECTIN4 should be rated Green for Palmoplantar keratodermas.

Family A - 4 affected siblings, Algerian origins, first-cousin parents; c.851G>A (p.Arg284Gln), homozygous; phenotype: progressive alopecia, pili torti, widely-spaced peg-shaped teeth, syndactyly fingers 2-3/3-4, toes 2-3/4-5. Study shows that the variants results in exon 4 skipping, leading to a p.(Phe244CysfsX22) change (premature stop codon).
Family B - 2 sibs born to nonconsanguineous Italian parents; phenotype: alopecia, pili torti, abnormal teeth, cutaneous syndactyly. Compound heterozygous c.554C>T (p.Thr185Met) + c.906delT (p.Pro304HisfsX2). 50% reduced mRNA expression in cultured epidermal keratinocytes of patient II:1 (family B).

10 affected individuals across a consanguineous Pakistani pedigree. Used microsatellite markers to assign disease locus. Affected individuals homozygous for c.635C>G; p.Pro212Arg - LOD score 5.05. Phenotype: sparse hair, conical teeth with enamel hypoplasia, nail dystrophy, palmoplantar keratoderma, bilateral syndactyly fingers 3-4 and toes 2-3.

Reports 5yo female patient; c.1150delC (p.Gln384ArgfsTer7), homozygous; phenotype: Brittle hair, sparse eyebrows/eyelashes, toenail dystrophy, mild palmoplantar keratoderma. Her teeth were widely spaced and conical, with small crowns and enamel hypoplasia + agenesis of 4 wisdom teeth.

Consanguineous Kashmiri Family. All 4 affected individuals harboured a homozygous nonsense variant NM 030916: c.181C > T, p.(Gln61Ter). Method: WES. Hypotrichosis, syndactyly fingers 3-4 and toes 2-3, discolored nails, upper lip cleft; conical teeth, with enamel ridges, and pits, widely spaced.

Large consanguineous Pakistani family. Only NECTIN4 coding region sequenced. All 15 affected individuals were homozygous for c.163C>T; p.(Arg55*). Phenotype: sparse hair; hypoplastic nails with thick flat discoloured nail plates; peg-shaped, conical, and widely spaced teeth with enamel hypoplasia; proximal cutaneous syndactyly of fingers and toes; skin was dry and scaly with hyperkeratosis and palmoplantar keratoderma.

NECTIN4, previously known as PVRL4, is linked to Ectodermal dysplasia-syndactyly syndrome 1, 613573 (OMIM, accessed 7th Nov 2025).
