Journal ArticleDOI
Common loss-of-function variants of the epidermal barrier protein filaggrin are a major predisposing factor for atopic dermatitis
Colin N. A. Palmer,Alan D. Irvine,Ana Terron-Kwiatkowski,Yiwei Zhao,Haihui Liao,Simon P. Lee,David Goudie,Aileen Sandilands,Linda E. Campbell,Frances J.D. Smith,Grainne M. O'Regan,Rosemarie Watson,Jo E Cecil,Sherri J. Bale,John G. Compton,John J. DiGiovanna,John J. DiGiovanna,Philip Fleckman,Sue Lewis-Jones,Gehan Arseculeratne,Ann Sergeant,Colin S. Munro,Brahim El Houate,Ken McElreavey,Liselotte Brydensholt Halkjaer,Hans Bisgaard,Somnath Mukhopadhyay,Somnath Mukhopadhyay,W.H. Irwin McLean +28 more
TL;DR: It is shown that two independent loss-of-function genetic variants (R510X and 2282del4) in the gene encoding filaggrin (FLG) are very strong predisposing factors for atopic dermatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding filaggrin cause ichthyosis vulgaris
Frances J.D. Smith,Alan D. Irvine,Ana Terron-Kwiatkowski,Aileen Sandilands,Linda E. Campbell,Yiwei Zhao,Haihui Liao,Alan Evans,David Goudie,Sue Lewis-Jones,Gehan Arseculeratne,Colin S. Munro,Ann Sergeant,Grainne M. O'Regan,Sherri J. Bale,John G. Compton,John J. DiGiovanna,John J. DiGiovanna,Richard B. Presland,Philip Fleckman,W.H. Irwin McLean +20 more
TL;DR: It is found that loss or reduction of this major structural protein, filaggrin, leads to varying degrees of impaired keratinization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in ATP2A2, encoding a Ca2+ pump, cause Darier disease
Anavaj Sakuntabhai,Victor L. Ruiz-Perez,S. Carter,N. Jacobsen,Susan Burge,Sarah Monk,Martin D. Smith,Colin S. Munro,Michael Conlon O'Donovan,Nicholas John Craddock,Raju Kucherlapati,Jonathan L. Rees,Michael John Owen,G M Lathrop,Anthony P. Monaco,Tom Strachan,Alain Hovnanian +16 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mutations in ATP2A2 cause Darier disease and disclose a role for this pump in a Ca2+-signalling pathway regulating cell-to-cell adhesion and differentiation of the epidermis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive analysis of the gene encoding filaggrin uncovers prevalent and rare mutations in ichthyosis vulgaris and atopic eczema.
Aileen Sandilands,Ana Terron-Kwiatkowski,Peter R. Hull,Grainne M. O'Regan,Timothy H Clayton,Rosemarie Watson,Thomas Carrick,Alan Evans,Haihui Liao,Yiwei Zhao,Linda E. Campbell,Matthias Schmuth,Robert Gruber,Andreas R. Janecke,Peter M. Elias,Maurice A.M. van Steensel,Ivo F Nagtzaam,Michel van Geel,Peter M. Steijlen,Colin S. Munro,Daniel G. Bradley,Colin N. A. Palmer,Frances J.D. Smith,W.H. Irwin McLean,Alan D. Irvine,Alan D. Irvine +25 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the common filaggrin (FLG) null mutations that cause ichthyosis vulgaris and predispose to eczema and secondary allergic diseases are ancestral variants carried on conserved haplotypes, and a strategy for full sequencing of this large, highly repetitive gene is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Missense Mutation in Connexin26, D66H, Causes Mutilating Keratoderma with Sensorineural Deafness (Vohwinkel's Syndrome) in Three Unrelated Families
Elena Maestrini,Bernhard P. Korge,Juan Ocaña-Sierra,Elisa Calzolari,Stefano Cambiaghi,Pat Scudder,Alain Hovnanian,Anthony P. Monaco,Colin S. Munro +8 more
TL;DR: The results provide evidence that a specific mutation in Cx26 can impair epidermal differentiation, as well as inner ear function, and suggest that Vohwinkel's syndrome is a common mutation in classical VS.
