A novel mutation A1270G of the EDA1 gene causing Tyr343Cys substitution in ectodysplasin-A in a family with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structure of the EDA1 gene was investigated in a patient with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Sequence analysis revealed a novel A1270G transition in exon 9 of the EDA1 gene in the patient and his uncle, whereas the patient's mother and grandmother were heterozygotes. This mutation resulted in Tyr343Cys substitution in the extracellular domain of the EDA1 gene product - ectodysplasin-A. The additional Cys343 was located between Cys332 and Cys346 and formed with Cys352 a cluster of four closely situated residues that could potentially form disulfide bonds. This mutation might affect the tertiary structure of the receptor-binding domain of ectodysplasin-A and precipitate the clinical symptoms of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

Autosomal Recessive Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Caused by a Novel Mutation in EDAR Gene
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...
متن کاملA Novel Splicesite Mutation in the EDAR Gene Causes Severe Autosomal Recessive Hypohydrotic (Anhidrotic) Ectodermal Dysplasia in an Iranian Family
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare congenital disorder arising from deficient development of ectoderm-derived structures including skin, nails, glands and teeth. The phenotype of HED is associated with mutation in EDA, EDAR, EDARADD and NEMO genes, all of them disruptingNF-κB signaling cascade necessary for initiation, formation and differentiation in the embryo and adult. ...

BACKGROUND X-linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a disorder characterized by abnormal development of tissues and organs of ectodermal origin caused by mutations in the EDA gene. The bovine EDA gene encodes the ectodysplasin A, a membrane protein expressed in keratinocytes, hair follicles and sweat glands, which is involved in the interactions between cell and cell and/or cell and matrix. ...

Background Disorders that irremediably affect fetuses make early stage therapies desirable. X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED), the most common inherited disorder of ectoderm development affecting the skin and its appendages, glands, and teeth, is caused by a lack of the signaling molecule ectodysplasin A1 (EDA1). In the Tabby XLHED mouse model, repeated intravenous administrati...

Recent developments of the investigations on the molecular basis of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia are reviewed. Identification of the major product of the EDA gene (ectodysplasin A), a protein belonging to a group of TNF ligands, and molecular cloning of the cDNA, encoding its receptor (EDAR), a member of the TNF receptor family, are presented. The role of an alternative EDA receptor, localis...
