Spectrum of novel ATP2A2 mutations in patients with Darier's disease. (1/77)
Darier's disease (DD) is an autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder characterized by loss of adhesion between epidermal cells (acantholysis) and abnormal keratinization. Recently, we identified ATP2A2 encoding the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPase isoform 2 as the defective gene in DD. Now we report a spectrum of ATP2A2 mutations in 19 families and six sporadic cases with DD and investigate genotype-phenotype correlations. All 21 exons and flanking intron boundaries were amplified and screened for mutations by conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis and direct sequencing. We identified 24 novel mutations that are scattered throughout the ATP2A2 gene. Two families shared an identical mutation on a common disease-associated haplotype, suggesting inheritance from a common ancestor. The majority of the mutations (54%; 13/24) led to a premature termination codon which further supports the proposal that haploin-sufficiency is a common molecular mechanism for DD. Thirty-eight per cent of mutations (9/24) result in non-conservative amino acid substitutions at highly conserved positions. Two mutations predict mutated polypeptides lacking or carrying additional amino acids. Marked inter- and intrafamilial phenotypic variability of the disease was observed. These results illustrate the considerable diversity of ATP2A2 mutations causing DD and suggest that additional factors are important contributors to the clinical phenotype.

Darier's disease (DD) is an autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized clinically by multiple keratotic papules, and histologically by focal loss of adhesion between epidermal cells (acantholysis) and by abnormal keratinization. Variant forms of cutaneous phenotype, sometimes familial, have been described. Associated neuropsychiatric features, including mental handicap, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and epilepsy, have also been reported. The cause of DD was shown recently to be mutation in the ATP2A2 gene at 12q24.1, which encodes the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase type 2 (SERCA2). Here, we show that while both common isoforms of SERCA2 are expressed in the cytoplasm of cultured keratinocytes and fibroblasts, in adult skin sections only the longer isoform, SERCA2b, was expressed abundantly in epidermal structures. Extended mutation analysis in European DD patients using single-strand conformation polymorphism and/or direct sequencing identified 40 different patient-specific mutations in 47 families. The majority (23/40) were likely to result in nonsense-mediated RNA decay. The remaining 17 were missense mutations distributed throughout the protein and were associated significantly with atypical clinical features. The clearest association was with the familial haemorrhagic variant where all four families tested had a missense mutation. Three of the families (one Scottish family and two unrelated Italian families) exhibited the same N767S substitution in the M5 transmembrane domain, and a fourth family, from Sweden, had a C268F substitution in the M3 transmembrane domain. Neuropsychiatric features did not appear to be associated with a specific class of mutation and may be an intrinsic, but inconsistent, effect of defective ATP2A2 expression.

Darier's disease (DD) is a rare, dominantly inherited disorder that affects the skin producing a variety of types of lesion. Close examination of lesional DD skin shows the presence of abnormal keratinization (epidermal differentiation) and acantholysis (loss of cohesion) of keratinocytes. A number of clinical studies have described the co-occurrence of various neurological and psychiatric symptoms with DD, including mood disorders, epilepsy, mental retardation and a slowly progressive encephalopathy. A single locus for DD has been mapped to chromosome 12q23-q24.1, and a variety of missense, nonsense, frameshift and splicing mutations in the ATP2A2 gene have been described recently in families with DD. This gene encodes the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium-pumping ATPase SERCA2, which has a central role in intra-cellular calcium signalling. In this study, we performed mutation analysis on ATP2A2 in 19 unrelated DD patients, of whom 10 had neuropsychiatric phenotypes. We identified and verified 17 novel mutations predicting conservative and non-conservative amino acid changes, potential premature translation terminations and potential altered splicing. Our findings confirm that mutations in ATP2A2 are associated with DD. In neuropsychiatric cases, there was a non-random clustering of mutations in the 3' end of the gene ( P = 0.01), and a predominance of the missense type (70% versus 38% in DD patients). This supports the hypothesis that the DD gene has pleiotropic effects in brain and that mutations in SERCA2 are implicated in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders. (+info)Ca(2+)-ATPase function is required for intracellular trafficking of the Notch receptor in Drosophila. (4/77)
Maintaining high Ca(2+) concentrations in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum is important for protein synthesis and transport. We identified a lethal complementation group recovered in a screen for mutations that reduce Notch activity as loss-of-function alleles of the Drosophila Ca(2+)-ATPase gene Ca-P60A. Analysis of Ca-P60A mutants indicates that Ca(2+)-ATPase is essential for cell viability and tissue morphogenesis during development. Cultured cells treated with Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors exhibit impaired Notch cleavage and receptor trafficking to the cell surface, explaining the genetic interaction between Ca(2+)-ATPase and Notch. Notch and several other transmembrane proteins are mislocalized in tissue clones homozygous for Ca-P60A mutations, demonstrating a general effect on membrane protein trafficking caused by a deficiency in Ca(2+)-ATPase. (+info)Monilethrix: mutational hotspot in the helix termination motif of the human hair basic keratin 6. (5/77)
Monilethrix is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by hair fragility and follicular hyperkeratosis. Mutations in the human basic hair keratins hHb1 and hHb6 have recently been reported in this disease. Twelve families and sporadic cases were clinically diagnosed with monilethrix and were available for the study. The gene segment encoding the helix termination motif region of keratin hHb6 was PCR amplified and sequenced. Mutations were recognized in 6 families. Four families had the previously described mutations, Glu413Lys and Glu413Asp. In 2 unrelated families, a novel mutation, Glu402Lys, was identified. No clear association was found between the severity of the phenotype and the mutation carried. Furthermore, heterozygous members of the same family had variable degrees of hair and skin involvement. Homozygous patients identified in one large consanguineous family were more severely affected. Other genetic or environmental factors may also play a role in monilethrix. (+info)Darier's disease: a new paradigm for genetic studies in psychiatric disorders. (6/77)
CONTEXT: One strategy for identifying susceptibility genes for common disorders is to investigate Mendelian diseases, cosegregating with these common disease phenotypes. CASE REPORT: A family with seven members is described, in which three members present Darier's disease and depression. This apparent cosegregation, if true, would support the hypothesis that in some pedigrees, a gene for mood disorder may be located on chromosome 12. (+info)Mosaicism for ATP2A2 mutations causes segmental Darier's disease. (7/77)
Epidermal naevi are localized malformations of the epidermis consisting of verrucoid scaly papules and plaques following Blaschko's lines. Genetic mosaicism has been proposed to underlie the development of linear epidermal naevi. Rarely, epidermal naevi show acantholytic histology similar to Darier's disease, a dominantly inherited skin condition characterized by widespread warty papules. As patients with acantholytic dyskeratotic naevi often give a history of worsening after sun exposure and the lesions are typical of Darier's disease, numerous authors have proposed that these patients have segmental Darier's disease. The postulated relationship has not been proven, however. Recently, we identified ATP2A2, which encodes the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase isoform 2 as the defective gene in Darier's disease. In this report, we investigated the involvement of ATP2A2 in acantholytic dyskeratotic naevi following Blaschko's lines in two patients. We identified a nonsense mutation (Y894X) in the first patient and a nonconservative glycine to arginine mutation at codon 769 (G769R) in the other patient. These mutations were present in affected skin, and were not detected in unaffected skin or in leukocytes. We conclude that acantholytic dyskeratotic naevi can arise from a somatic mutation in ATP2A2. These individuals are mosaics for the mutation, but the risk of transmission of generalized Darier's disease will depend on whether the germline is affected. Our findings provide further evidence that Blaschko's lines do reflect genetic mosaicism and that the term acantholytic dyskeratotic naevus might be replaced in the future by segmental Darier's disease induced by postzygotic mosaicism. J Invest Dermatol 115:1144-1147 2000 (+info)Sepsis as an unusual event in dyskeratosis follicularis. (8/77)
Dyskeratosis follicularis is a genetic disorder characterized by pathogenetic changes of keratinization. We report on a severe case of the disease with an unusual manifestation involving Staphylococcal sepsis. The patient was treated systemically with infusions, oral antibiotics, and retinoids. Antiseptics, keratolytic ointments, and creams were given topically to promote epithelization. His condition improved dramatically after 14 days of treatment. All erosions of the trunk, extremities, neck, and head had epithelized. We suspect that extreme sun exposure and neglect of care on genetically susceptible sites triggered the sepsis. (+info)Darier Disease is a genetic skin disorder, also known as Keratosis Follicularis. It is characterized by the formation of greasy, crusted, keratotic papules and plaques that typically appear on the upper arms, torso, and scalp. The lesions may also affect the nasolabial folds, central face, and mucous membranes. Darier Disease is caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene, which encodes a calcium pump protein involved in keratinization. It is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that a person has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease if one of their parents is affected. The onset of symptoms typically occurs during adolescence or early adulthood. Treatment options include topical medications, oral retinoids, and photodynamic therapy.
Benign familial pemphigus is a rare, autosomal dominant blistering disorder that primarily affects the mucous membranes. It is characterized by the presence of flaccid blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes. The lesions are usually painless and heal without scarring.
The condition is caused by mutations in the desmoglein-1 (DSG1) gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called desmoglein 1. This protein is a component of desmosomes, which are structures that help bind cells together. Mutations in the DSG1 gene lead to the production of an abnormal desmoglein 1 protein, which disrupts the formation of desmosomes and causes the cells in the epidermis to separate from each other, resulting in blister formation.
Benign familial pemphigus is typically a milder form of pemphigus and has a good prognosis. Treatment usually involves the use of topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and promote healing of the lesions. In severe cases, systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications may be necessary.
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium-Transporting ATPases (SERCA) are a type of calcium pumps that are located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of muscle cells. They play a crucial role in excitation-contraction coupling, which is the process by which muscles contract and relax.
During muscle contraction, calcium ions (Ca2+) are released from the SR into the cytosol, triggering muscle fiber contraction. After the muscle fiber has contracted, Ca2+ must be actively transported back into the SR to allow the muscle fiber to relax. This is where SERCA comes in.
SERCA uses energy from ATP hydrolysis to transport Ca2+ against its concentration gradient from the cytosol back into the lumen of the SR. By doing so, it helps maintain low cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations and high SR Ca2+ concentrations, which are necessary for muscle relaxation and subsequent contraction.
There are several isoforms of SERCA, each with slightly different properties and tissue distributions. For example, SERCA1 is primarily found in fast-twitch skeletal muscle fibers, while SERCA2a is found in both slow-twitch and fast-twitch skeletal muscle fibers as well as cardiac muscle. Mutations in the genes encoding these pumps can lead to various muscle disorders, including certain forms of muscular dystrophy and heart failure.

A plant tuber is not a medical term per se, but rather a term from botany. However, I can certainly provide a definition for you.
Tubers are specialized underground stems or roots that serve as storage organs for many types of plants. They consist of enlarged structures filled with nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and other organic compounds. Tubers can be classified into two main categories: true tubers and false tubers.
True tubers are swollen underground stems, such as those found in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). They have nodes and internodes like aboveground stems, but they lack leaves or buds. Instead, they have small bumps called "eyes" that contain dormant buds, which can sprout to produce new plants when conditions are favorable.
False tubers, on the other hand, are enlarged roots, such as those found in cassava (Manihot esculenta). They do not have nodes and internodes like true tubers but instead store nutrients in their fleshy tissues.
While plant tubers may not have a direct medical definition, they are essential to human health and nutrition. Many tuber crops provide important sources of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in diets around the world.
