Darier disease--novel mutations in ATP2A2 and genotype-phenotype correlation

Darier disease (DD) is with a frequency of up to 1 in 36,000 a relatively common genodermatosis with autosomal dominant inheritance and late age of onset. The progressive skin manifestations are variable, but often debilitating and disfiguring, and may be associated with a wide range of neuropsychiatric problems, such as epilepsy and depression. On histology, acantholysis and dyskeratosis are prominent findings, implicating impaired functionality of desmosomes. Recently, mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding SERCA2, a calcium pump of the endo/sacrcoplasmic reticulum, have been identified as the molecular basis of DD. This slow-twitched calcium ATPase has two splice variants, one of which is highly expressed in epidermis, and maintains low intracellular calcium levels by facilitating transport of cytosolic calcium into the endoplasmic reticulum. Thus, it may confer a direct effect on the established calcium-dependent assembly of desmosomes. We screened ATP2A2 in a cohort of 24 DD families using conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis and direct sequencing, and detected 14 distinct mutations, 9 of which were novel. The mutational spectrum included 9 missense mutations, 1 nonsense mutation, 3 small in-frame deletions, and a 19-basepair insertion. Mutations were scattered over the entire gene with a slight preponderance in the first 8 exons, and affected exclusively residues conserved among all SERCAs. In addition, we found 2 silent polymorphisms, 1 of which occurred in 4 unrelated families. Comparison of molecular data and phenotypic features, such as severity and type of disease, occurrence of mucosal involvement, or association with neuropsychiatric disorders, did not reveal an obvious genotype-phenotype correlation in our cohort.

Mosaicism for ATP2A2 mutations causes segmental Darier's disease

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.

Novel mutations of ATP2A2 gene in Japanese patients of Darier's disease

Darier's disease (DD) is a rare, dominantly inherited skin disorder with abnormal keratinization and acantholysis. Recently, mutations of ATP2A2 encoding the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase type 2 isoform (SERCA2) have been reported in Caucasian DD families. In the present study, we examined the ATP2A2 gene mutations of three sporadic (AS1,AS3,AS4) and one familial (AS2) Japanese DD patients. Sequence analysis revealed that the patients had novel mutations, one nonsense mutation (AS1 (C613X)) and three single base changes leading to amino acid substitutions (AS2 (L321F), AS3 (I274V), and AS4 (M719I)). These results demonstrate that distinct ATP2A2 gene mutations are present in Japanese DD patients.

A novel splice-site mutation of ATP2A2 gene in a Chinese family with Darier disease

Darier disease (DD; OMIM 124200) is a rare, autosomal dominant hereditary skin disorder characterized by abnormal keratinization and acantholysis. The causes of DD are defects in the ATP2A2 gene, which encodes the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺ ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2). The aim of this study was to report a novel splice-site mutation and to examine the relative quantity expression of ATP2A2 gene in a Chinese family with DD. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out to amplify the exons and flanking intron boundaries of the ATP2A2 gene followed by direct sequencing. A novel splice-site mutation (IVS20-6T>A) was found in the family, which was confirmed by creating a novel HinfI (NEB Inc) recognition site and RT-PCR. Real-time quantitative PCR showed approximately 53 and 52% reduction of ATP2A2 expression of the proband and his father, respectively. The results support the proposition that haploinsufficiency is a common mechanism for the dominant inheritance of DD.     

Novel ATP2A2 mutations in a large sample of individuals with Darier disease

Darier disease (DD) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited skin disorder caused by mutations in ATP2A2, which is expressed in both the skin and the brain and encodes for SERCA2. We have screened the coding regions of ATP2A2 in a total of 95 unrelated individuals with DD to identify the pathogenic mutations. We identified 66 potentially pathogenic mutations in ATP2A2 for 74 of the 95 individuals with DD of which 45 (68%) are thought to be novel. Forty‐nine (74%) are unique to an individual and 17 (26%) were found in more than one individual or overlap with previously identified variants. The results suggest that mutations in ATP2A2 may not be as family‐specific as first thought. The spectrum of mutations identified will inform understanding of the pathogenesis of DD.     

Mutation analysis of the ATP2A2 gene in Taiwanese patients with Darier's disease

BACKGROUND: Darier's disease (DD) is an autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by abnormal keratinization and acantholysis. Pathogenic mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding SERCA2, a calcium pump of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum, have recently been identified. OBJECTIVES: To identify mutations of the ATP2A2 gene in Taiwanese patients with DD. METHODS: Mutation analysis of genomic DNA was performed on five families with DD and two sporadic cases. All 21 exons and the flanking intron boundaries were amplified and followed by direct sequencing. Restriction fragment analysis or direct sequencing in each family and in normal controls further verified the mutations. RESULTS: Mutations in the functional domains of the ATP2A2 gene were identified and verified in all seven pedigrees. They consisted of four mis-sense mutations (R131Q, P680L, G703S, G807R), one altered splice-site mutation (2980 + 5insA) and one frameshift deletion mutation (1457-1458delAG). Of these, R131Q, which was reported twice previously, was detected in two unrelated families. The remaining five were novel mutations. CONCLUSIONS: Six pathogenic mutations in the ATP2A2 gene were identified in seven Taiwanese DD pedigrees. The results confirmed that most mutations in the ATP2A2 gene are private and of the mis-sense type.
