Detection of Novel Biallelic Causative Variants in COL7A1 Gene by Whole-Exome Sequencing, Resulting in Congenital Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa in Three Unrelated Families
Background: Dystrophic Epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a rare, severe subtype of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), characterized by blisters and miliary rashes of the skin. Dystrophic EB (DEB) includes variants inherited both in an autosomal-dominant or autosomal-recessive manner. Recessive dystrophic EB (...

description | Background: Dystrophic Epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a rare, severe subtype of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), characterized by blisters and miliary rashes of the skin. Dystrophic EB (DEB) includes variants inherited both in an autosomal-dominant or autosomal-recessive manner. Recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB) is divided into many subtypes and prevails as a result of biallelic genetic mutations in COL7A1 gene encoding type VII collagen, a major stabilizing molecule of the dermo-epidermal junction. The blister formation is mainly due to the variable structural and functional impairment of anchoring fibrils in VII collagen (COLVII), responsible for the adhesion of the epidermis to the dermis. Method: Three Pakistani families (A, B and C) affected with congenital dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa were recruited in the present study. The whole-exome sequencing (WES) approach was utilized for the detection of the pathogenic sequence variants in probands. The segregation of these variants in other participants was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Results: This study identified a novel missense variant c.7034G>A, p. Gly2345Asp in exon 91, a novel Frameshift mutation c.385del (p. His129MetfsTer18) in a homozygous form in exon no 3, and a previously known nonsense variation (c.1573 C>T; p. Arg525Ter) in exon 12 of COL7A1 gene in families A, B, and C, respectively, as causative mutations responsible for dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in these families. Conclusion: Our study validates the involvement of the COL7A1 gene in the etiology of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. It further expands the COL7A1 gene mutation database and provides an additional scientific basis for diagnosis, genetic counseling, and prognosis purposes for EB patients. |
