Functional and clinical analysis of five EDA variants associated with ectodermal dysplasia but with a hard-to-predict significance. Front Genet 2022; 13:934395. [PMID: 35923710 PMCID: PMC9339965 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.934395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Deficiency of ectodysplasin A1 (EDA1) due to variants of the gene EDA causes X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED), a rare genetic condition characterized by abnormal development of ectodermal structures. XLHED is defined by the triad of hypotrichosis, hypo- or anhidrosis, and hypo- or anodontia. Anhidrosis may lead to life-threatening hyperthermia. A definite genetic diagnosis is, thus, important for the patients' management and amenability to a novel prenatal treatment option. Here, we describe five familial EDA variants segregating with the disease in three families, for which different prediction tools yielded discordant results with respect to their significance. Functional properties in vitro and levels of circulating serum EDA were compared with phenotypic data on skin, hair, eyes, teeth, and sweat glands. EDA1-Gly176Val, although associated with relevant hypohidrosis, still bound to the EDA receptor (EDAR). Subjects with EDA1-Pro389LeufsX27, -Ter392GlnfsX30, -Ser125Cys, and an EDA1 splice variant (c.924+7A > G) showed complete absence of pilocarpine-induced sweating. EDA1-Pro389LeufsX27 was incapable of binding to EDAR and undetectable in serum. EDA1-Ter392GlnfsX30, produced in much lower amounts than wild-type EDA1, could still bind to EDAR, and so did EDA1-Ser125Cys that was, however, undetectable in serum. The EDA splice variant c.924+7A > G resulted experimentally in a mix of wild-type EDA1 and EDA molecules truncated in the middle of the receptor-binding domain, with reduced EDA serum concentration. Thus, in vitro assays reflected the clinical phenotype in two of these difficult cases, but underestimated it in three others. Absence of circulating EDA seems to predict the full-blown phenotype of XLHED, while residual EDA levels may also be found in anhidrotic patients. This indicates that unborn subjects carrying variants of uncertain significance could benefit from an upcoming prenatal medical treatment even if circulating EDA levels or tests in vitro suggest residual EDA1 activity.

Abstract
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutational inactivation of a developmental pathway responsible for generation of tissues of ectodermal origin. The X-linked form accounts for the majority of HED cases and is caused by Ectodysplasin (EDA) pathogenic variants. We performed a combined analysis of 29 X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) families (including 12 from our previous studies). In addition to the classical triad of symptoms including loss (or reduction) of ectodermal structures, such as hair, teeth, and sweat glands, we detected additional HED-related clinical features including facial dysmorphism and hyperpigmentation in several patients. Interestingly, global developmental delay was identified as an unusual clinical symptom in many patients. More importantly, we identified 22 causal pathogenic variants that included 15 missense, four small in-dels, and one nonsense, splice site, and large deletion each. Interestingly, we detected 12 unique (India-specific) pathogenic variants. Of the 29 XLHED families analyzed, 11 (38%) harbored pathogenic variant localized to the furin cleavage site. A comparison with HGMD revealed significant differences in the frequency of missense pathogenic variants; involvement of specific exons and/or protein domains and transition/transversion ratios. A significantly higher proportion of missense pathogenic variants (33%) localized to the EDA furin cleavage when compared to HGMD (7%), of which p.R155C, p.R156C, and p.R156H were detected in three families each. Therefore, the first comprehensive analysis of XLHED from India has revealed several unique features including unusual clinical symptoms and high frequency of furin cleavage site pathogenic variants.

Abstract
Background Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is mainly caused by ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene mutation. Fetus with genetic deficiency of EDA can be prenatally corrected. This study aimed at revealing the pathogenesis of two HED families and making a prenatal diagnosis for one pregnant female carrier. Designs Genomic DNA was extracted from two HED patients and sequenced using whole exome sequencing (WES). The detected mutations were confirmed in patients and family members using Sanger sequencing. The expression of soluble ectodysplasin A1 (EDA1) protein was studied by western blot. The transcriptional activity of NF‐κB pathway was tested by dual luciferase assay. The genomic DNA of fetus was extracted from shed chorion cells and EDA gene was screened through Sanger sequencing. Results We identified two novel EDA mutations: c.1136T>C (p.Phe379Ser) and c.[866G>C;868A>T] (p.[Arg289Pro;Ser290Cys]). Further examinations revealed that these two mutated EDA1 proteins showed completely impaired solubility, and the transcriptional NF‐κB activation induced by these missense mutant‐type EDA1 proteins was significantly reduced compared with wild‐type EDA1. Furthermore, the analysis of amniotic fluid samples from a pregnant heterozygote indicated that the fetus was a c.1136T>C mutation female carrier. Conclusions This study extended the mutation spectrum of X‐linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) and applied prenatal diagnosis for the pregnant carrier, which can be helpful in genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, and intervention for the XLHED family.

Abstract
X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) is the most common form of ectodermal dysplasia. Clinical and genetic heterogeneity between different ectodermal dysplasia types and evidence of incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity increase the potential for misdiagnosis. We describe a family with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) presenting with variable expressivity of symptoms between affected siblings. In addition to the classical signs of hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis and hypodontia, the index patient—a 5 year old boy, also presented with a severe atopy phenotype that was not observed in the other two affected brothers. Exome sequencing in the index and the mother identified a pathogenic nonsense variant in EDA (NM_001399.4: c.766 C>T; p. Gln256Ter). This study highlights how exome sequencing was crucial in establishing a precise molecular diagnosis of XLHED by enabling us to rule out other differential diagnoses including NEMO deficiency syndrome, that was initially presented as a clinical diagnosis to the family.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the genetic causes of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) in two families and elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of HED in Chinese Han patients. Methods Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was used to screen HED-related genes in two family members, followed by confirmatory Sanger sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis was performed for the mutations. We reviewed HED-related articles in PubMed. χ2- and Fisher's tests were used to analyze the genotype–phenotype correlations. Results (1) WES identified EDA missense mutations [c.1127 C > T (p.T376M; NM_001005609)] in family 1 and an EDA nonframeshift deletion mutation [c.648_683delACCTGGTCCTCCAGGTCCTCCTGGTCCTCAAGGACC (p.216_228delPPGPPGPPGPQGP; NM_001005609)] in family 2. Sanger sequencing validated the results. ANNOVAR (ANNOtate VARiation) annotation indicated that c.1127 c > T was a deleterious mutation. (2) The review of published papers revealed 68 novel mutations related to HED: 57 (83.8%) were EDA mutations, 8 (11.8%) were EDAR mutations, 2 (2.9%) were EDARADD mutations, 1 (1.5%) was a WNT10A mutation, 31 (45.6%) were missense mutations, 23 (33.8%) were deletion mutations, and 1 (1.5%) was an indel. Genotype–phenotype correlation analysis revealed that patients with EDA missense mutations had a higher frequency of hypohidrosis (P = 0.021). Conclusions This study identified two EDA gene mutations in two Chinese Han HED families and provides a foundation for genetic diagnosis and counseling.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to review the published literature on X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) for the prevalence and characteristics of three features of XLHED: hypodontia, hypohidrosis, and hypotrichosis. A systematic search of English-language articles was conducted in May 2019 to identify publications with information on any of the three features of XLHED. We excluded studies with five or fewer participants, that did not specify X-linked inheritance or an EDA mutation, and discussed only management of features. The weighted means for total missing teeth, location of missing teeth, prevalence of reduced and absent sweating ability, and sparse or absent hair were analyzed across all studies. Additional findings for hypodontia, hypohidrosis, and hypotrichosis were summarized qualitatively. Twenty publications (18 studies) were accepted. Reported findings for males tended to be more informative than for carrier females. The weighted mean for missing teeth for affected males was 22.4 (range: 10-28) and carrier females was 3.4 (range: 0-22). The most common conserved teeth for males were the canines. The most common missing teeth for females were the maxillary lateral incisors. The weighted mean prevalence of reduced or absent sweating ability was 95.7% for males and 71.6% for females. The weighted mean prevalence for hypotrichosis was 88.1% for males and 61.6% for females. This systematic review provides insight into the prevalence, characteristics, and variability of the three classic features of XLHED. These findings provide detailed natural history information for families with XLHED as well as key characteristics that can aid in diagnosis.

Abstract
Prediction methods have become an integral part of biomedical and biotechnological research. However, their clinical interpretations are largely based on biochemical or molecular data, but not clinical data. Here, we focus on improving the reliability and clinical applicability of prediction algorithms. We assembled and curated two large non-overlapping large databases of clinical phenotypes. These phenotypes were caused by missense variations in 44 and 63 genes associated with Mendelian diseases. We used these databases to establish and validate the model, allowing us to improve the predictions obtained from EVmutation, SNAP2 and PoPMuSiC 2.1. The predictions of clinical effects suffered from a lack of specificity, which appears to be the common constraint of all recently used prediction methods, although predictions mediated by these methods are associated with nearly absolute sensitivity. We introduced evidence-based tailoring of the default settings of the prediction methods; this tailoring substantially improved the prediction outcomes. Additionally, the comparisons of the clinically observed and theoretical variations led to the identification of large previously unreported pools of variations that were under negative selection during molecular evolution. The evolutionary variation analysis approach described here is the first to enable the highly specific identification of likely disease-causing missense variations that have not yet been associated with any clinical phenotype.

EDA, EDAR, EDARADD and WNT10A allelic variants in patients with ectodermal derivative impairment in the Spanish population. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2019; 14:281. [PMID: 31796081 PMCID: PMC6892193 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-019-1251-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2019] [Accepted: 11/05/2019] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ectodermal dysplasias (ED) are a group of genetic conditions affecting the development and/or homeostasis of two or more ectodermal derivatives. An attenuated phenotype is considered a non-syndromic trait when the patient is affected by only one impaired ectodermal structure, such as in non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) disorder. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is the most highly represented ED. X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) is the most common subtype, with an incidence of 1/50,000-100,000 males, and is associated with the EDA gene (Xq12-q13.1); the dominant and recessive subtypes involve the EDAR (2q13) and EDARADD (1q42.3) genes, respectively. The WNT10A gene (2q35) is associated more frequently with NSTA. Our goal was to determine the mutational spectrum in a cohort of 72 Spanish patients affected by one or more ectodermal derivative impairments referred to as HED (63/72) or NSTA (9 /72) to establish the prevalence of the allelic variants of the four most frequently associated genes. Sanger sequencing of the EDA, EDAR, EDARADD and WNT10A genes and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were performed. RESULTS A total of 61 children and 11 adults, comprising 50 males and 22 females, were included. The average ages were 5.4 and 40.2 years for children and adults, respectively. A molecular basis was identified in 51/72 patients, including 47/63 HED patients, for whom EDA was the most frequently involved gene, and 4/9 NSTA patients, most of whom had variants of WNT10A. Among all the patients, 37/51 had variants of EDA, 8/51 had variants of the WNT10A gene, 4/51 had variants of EDAR and 5/51 had variants of EDARADD. In 42/51 of cases, the variants were inherited according to an X-linked pattern (27/42), with the remaining showing an autosomal dominant (10/42) or autosomal recessive (5/42) pattern. Among the NSTA patients, 3/9 carried pathogenic variants of WNT10A and 1/9 carried EDA variants. A total of 60 variants were detected in 51 patients, 46 of which were different, and out of these 46 variants, 12 were novel. CONCLUSIONS This is the only molecular study conducted to date in the Spanish population affected by ED. The EDA, EDAR, EDARADD and WNT10A genes constitute the molecular basis in 70.8% of patients with a 74.6% yield in HED and 44.4% in NSTA. Twelve novel variants were identified. The WNT10A gene has been confirmed as the second molecular candidate that has been identified and accounts for one-half of non-EDA patients and one-third of NSTA patients. Further studies using next generation sequencing (NGS) will help to identify other contributory genes in the remaining uncharacterized Spanish patients.

Abstract
Hypohidrotic or anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED/EDA) is characterized by impaired development of the hair, teeth, or sweat glands. HED/EDA is inherited in an X-linked, autosomal dominant, or autosomal recessive pattern and caused by the pathogenic variants in 4 genes: EDA, EDAR, EDARADD, and WNT10A. The aim of the present study was to perform molecular screening of these 4 genes in a cohort of Turkish individuals diagnosed with HED/EDA. We screened for pathogenic variants of WNT10A, EDA, EDAR, and EDARADD through Sanger sequencing. We further assessed the clinical profiles of the affected individuals in order to establish phenotype-genotype correlation. In 17 (63%) out of 27 families, 17 pathogenic variants, 8 being novel, were detected in the 4 well-known ectodermal dysplasia genes. EDAR and EDA variants were identified in 6 families each, WNT10A variants in 4, and an EDARADD variant in 1, accounting for 35.3, 35.3, 23.5, and 5.9% of mutation-positive families, respectively. The low mutation detection rate of the cohort and the number of the EDAR pathogenic variants being as high as the EDA ones were the most noteworthy findings which could be attributed to the high consanguinity rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tooth agenesis (TA) is featured by congenital loss of teeth, and can be divided into two subtypes, non-syndromic TA (NSTA) and syndromic TA (STA). Although 12 candidate genes of NSTA have been revealed, the genetic basis of NSTA needs to be further studied. We noticed an overlap of candidate genes between NSTA and STA, and hypothesized that some candidate genes of STA may be new candidate genes of NSTA. METHODS Sanger sequencing, whole exome sequencing, bioinformatics analyses and immunohistochemical staining were performed to reveal the genetic basis of the patients in a family with NSTA. RESULTS No pathogenic mutation was found in the 12 candidate genes of NSTA. We screened the variants of 76 STA candidate genes and identified a novel pathogenic mutation c.G908C (p.R303 P) in Keratinocyte Differentiation Factor 1 (KDF1). This mutation was cosegregated with the disease in the family. Bioinformatics analyses predicted the mutation to be pathogenic. Immunohistochemical staining of kdf1 in developing tooth germs indicated that kdf1 expression is important for the development of teeth. CONCLUSIONS This study identified KDF1 as a novel candidate gene for NSTA. STA candidate genes may be a promising source of new NSTA genes.

Abstract
AIM To make a gene diagnosis for a family with Ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene mutation as well as prenatal diagnosis, and report a novel EDA gene mutation. METHODS All coding sequences and flanking sequences of EDA gene were analyzed by Sanger sequencing in the proband, and then, according to EDA gene mutation in the proband, the EDA gene sequencing was performed on the family members. Based on the results above, the pathogenic mutation in EDA gene was finally identified, which was used for making prenatal diagnosis. RESULTS Sanger sequencing revealed c.302_303delCC [p.Pro101HisfsX11] mutation in EDA gene of the proband. This mutation induced EDA gene frame shift mutation which led to early termination of EDA gene translation because there was a termination codon TAA at the 11th codon behind the mutational site. Heterozygous deletion mutation (CC/--) at this locus was observed in the proband's mother and proband's grandmother, but the proband's aunt had no mutation at this locus. The analyses of amniotic fluid samples indicated negative sex-determining region on Y (SRY), and c.302_303delCC heterozygous deletion mutation. CONCLUSION We identified a pathogenetic mutation in EDA gene for the X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia family, made a prenatal diagnosis for the female carrier, and reported a novel EDA gene mutation.

Genes (Basel) 2017; 8:genes8100259. [PMID: 28981473 PMCID: PMC5664109 DOI: 10.3390/genes8100259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2017] [Revised: 09/21/2017] [Accepted: 09/29/2017] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Both X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) and non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) result in symptoms of congenital tooth loss. This study investigated genetic causes in two families with XLHED and four families with NSTA. We screened for mutations of WNT10A, EDA, EDAR, EDARADD, PAX9, MSX1, AXIN2, LRP6, and WNT10B through Sanger sequencing. Whole exome sequencing was performed for the proband of NSTA Family 4. Novel mutation c.1051G>T (p.Val351Phe) and the known mutation c.467G>A (p.Arg156His) of Ectodysplasin A (EDA) were identified in families with XLHED. Novel EDA receptor (EDAR) mutation c.73C>T (p.Arg25*), known EDA mutation c.491A>C (p.Glu164Ala), and known Wnt family member 10A (WNT10A) mutations c.511C>T (p.Arg171Cys) and c.742C>T (p.Arg248*) were identified in families with NSTA. The novel EDA and EDAR mutations were predicted as being pathogenic through bioinformatics analyses and structural modeling. Two variants of WNT10A, c.374G>A (p.Arg125Lys) and c.125A>G (p.Asn42Ser), were found in patients with NSTA. The two WNT10A variants were predicted to affect the splicing of message RNA, but minigene experiments showed normal splicing of mutated minigenes. This study uncovered the genetic foundations with respect to six families with XLHED or NSTA. We identified six mutations, of which two were novel mutations of EDA and EDAR. This is the first report of a nonsense EDAR mutation leading to NSTA.
