The ichthyosis follicularis, alopecia, and photophobia (IFAP) syndrome is a rare X-linked genodermatosis characterized by noninflammatory spiny follicular hyperkeratosis, severe photophobia, and non-scarring alopecia with variable severities. IFAP syndrome results from mutations in the gene encoding the membrane-bound transcription factor peptidase, site 2 (MBTPS2).
We present an 11-year-old male with typical clinical features of IFAP syndrome, including diffuse follicular hyperkeratosis, alopecia, photophobia, psoriasiform plaques, short statue, nail dystrophy, mental retardation, and seizures.
A novel missense mutation (NM_015884.4: c.1298T > C; NP_056968.1: p. L433P) in the membrane-bound transcription factor peptidase, site 2 gene (MBTPS2) was identified in our patient. The heterozygous MBTPS2 mutation was identified in his mother but not his father.
This study demonstrated a novel MBTPS2 mutation in a patient with IFAP syndrome and thus expands the known MBPTS2 molecular repertoire.
滤泡性鱼鳞病、脱发和畏光(IFAP)综合征是一种罕见的 X 连锁遗传性皮肤病,其特征为非炎症性棘状毛囊角化过度、严重畏光和非瘢痕性脱发,严重程度不一。IFAP 综合征是由编码膜结合转录因子肽酶、位点 2(MBTPS2)的基因突变引起的。
我们介绍了一名 11 岁男性患者,其具有 IFAP 综合征的典型临床特征,包括弥漫性滤泡性角化过度、脱发、畏光、银屑病样斑块、身材矮小、指甲营养不良、智力障碍和癫痫发作。
在我们的患者中发现了膜结合转录因子肽酶、位点 2 基因(MBTPS2)中的一个新的错义突变(NM_015884.4:c.1298T>C;NP_056968.1:p.L433P)。其母亲存在杂合的 MBTPS2 突变,但父亲不存在。
本研究在 IFAP 综合征患者中发现了一个新的 MBTPS2 突变,从而扩展了已知的 MBPTS2 分子谱。
