Evidence of a founder effect for four cathepsin C gene mutations in Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome patients.
We describe a mutation and haplotype analysis of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome probands that provides evidence of a founder effect for four separate cathepsin C mutations. A total of 25 different cathepsin C mutations have been reported in 32 families with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) and associated conditions. A characteristic of these findings is the diversity of different cathepsin C mutation...
متن کاملMutations of the cathepsin C gene are responsible for Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome.
Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe early onset periodontitis that results in the premature loss of the primary and secondary dentitions. A major gene locus for PLS has been mapped to a 2.8 cM interval on chromosome 11q14. Correlation of physical and genetic maps of this interval indicate it includes at least...
متن کاملPapillon-Lefèvre syndrome.
Papillon- Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of keratinization characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, periodontopathy and precocious loss of dentition. The exact pathomechanism of these clinical events mainly remains speculative. This paper describes two cases of PLS with classic clinical features and briefly review the relevant literature.
متن کاملHaim-Munk syndrome and Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome are allelic mutations in cathepsin C.
Of the many palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) conditions, only Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) and Haim-Munk syndrome (HMS) are associated with premature periodontal destruction. Although both PLS and HMS share the cardinal features of PPK and severe periodontitis, a number of additional findings are reported in HMS including arachnodactyly, acro-osteolysis, atrophic changes of the nails, and a ra...
متن کاملIdentification of cathepsin C mutations in ethnically diverse papillon-Lefèvre syndrome patients.
INTRODUCTION Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by palmoplantar keratoderma and severe, early onset periodontitis, which results from deficiency of cathepsin C activity secondary to mutations in the cathepsin C gene. To date, 13 different cathepsin C mutations have been reported in PLS patients, all of which are homozygous for a given mutation, refl...
