A recurrent missense mutation in the LPAR6 gene underlies hereditary hypotrichosis

چکیده
Hypotrichosis is a heritable condition described by sparse hairs, sparse to absent eyebrows, eyelashes, axillary, and body hair, but with normal teeth and nails. Genotyping was carried out of family from fourth generation from district Sibi, Balochistan, having two affected males and one female. Genotyping was done targeting LPAR6-linked microsatellite markers present on chromosome 13q14.11-q21.32. The exon located on LPAR6 gene, were amplified of both affected and normal individuals of the family revealing linkage at locus on chromosome 13. Sequencing result of the LPAR6, shown a recurrent missense mutation c.436G>A, p. G146R) in a family. A recurrent missense mutation revealed in the current investigation encompass the evidence of LPAR6 gene hereditary hypotrichosis.

Autosomal recessive hypotrichosis is a rare genetic irreversible hair loss disorder characterized by sparse scalp hair, sparse to absent eyebrows and eyelashes, and sparse axillary and body hair. The study, presented here, established genetic linkage in four families showing similar phenotypes to lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6 (LPAR6) gene on chromosome 13q14.11-q21.32. Subsequently, sequence...

We report on two brothers with visual impairment, and non-syndromic alopecia in the elder proband. The parents were first-degree Pakistani cousins. Whole exome sequencing of the elder brother and parents, followed by Sanger sequencing of all four family members, led to the identification of the variants responsible for the two phenotypes. One variant was a homozygous nonsense variant in the inh...

Backgrounds: Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic disorder, distinguished by hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, and hypodontia. HDE can be inherited in X-linked recessive manner as a result of mutations in the ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene as well as autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive manners both of them caused by mutations in EDA receptor (EDAR) and EDAR-associated death d...

Introduction: Abortion is a common complication that refers to the early termination of pregnancy with the death of the fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy. Previous studies show that many genes are involved in this disease, including the CX3CR1 gene, which is one of the inflammatory response genes in the immune system. The pathogenicity of these variants was determined in this study using ...
