Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness Syndrome, Atypical Connexin GJB2 Gene Mutation, and Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma: More Than a Random Association?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by skin lesions, neurosensorial hypoacusia, and keratitis, usually due to the c.148G → A mutation involving the connexin 26 gene. We report on a KID patient who showed the atypical c.101T → C mutation and developed a T-cell lymphoma so far never described in this group of patients.

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome is a rare genodermatosis, which has recently been connected with mutations in the connexin-26 gene, GJB2. We present a 15-year-old boy with erythroderma, hyperkeratotic plaques and deafness. Sequencing analysis showed a heterozygous missense mutation D50N (148G>A) in GJB2. The boy has not yet manifested characteristic eye lesions but his case shows that ta...

Mutations in the GJB2 gene (Cx26) cause deafness in humans. Most are loss-of-function mutations and cause nonsyndromic deafness. Some mutations produce a gain of function and cause syndromic deafness associated with skin disorders, such as keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (KIDS). Cx26-G45E is a lethal mutation linked to KIDS that forms constitutively active connexin hemichannels. The path...
متن کاملConnexin 26 (GJB2) mutations in two Swedish patients with atypical Vohwinkel (mutilating keratoderma plus deafness) and KID syndrome both extensively treated with acitretin.
Neuroectodermal syndromes involving the skin and inner ear may be associated with mutations in connexin proteins, which form gap junctions important for intercellular communication. Vohwinkel syndrome (keratodermia mutilans with hearing loss) and keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome are rare ectodermal dysplasias associated with dominant mutations in the GJB2 gene encoding connexin 26. ...

GJB2: gap junction protein b2 KID: keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness INTRODUCTION Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare genodermatosis with approximately 100 published cases. Although it is classified as an autosomal dominant disorder, more than 90% of cases are caused by sporadic mutations predominantly in gap junction protein b2 (GJB2) on chromosome 13q11-q12 (OMIM 148210). GJB2 ...

Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of the ectoderm caused by mutations in the connexin-26 gene (GJB2) on chromosome 13q11-q12, giving rise to keratitis, erythrokeratoderma and neurosensory deafness. We report the case of a 31-year-old black male diagnosed as having KID syndrome. Sequencing analysis showed a heterozygous missense mutation D50N (148G > A) in the ...
