A rare heterozygous TRAF6 variant is associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
British Journal of Dermatology 2012 June
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the genes encoding components of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α-like pathway cause hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED). It has been postulated that the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is also involved in this pathway.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate mutations in the TRAF6 gene in an individual with HED.
METHODS: Genetic analysis was performed on TRAF6 in a patient with HED, her parents, her sister and 150 ethnically matched, healthy individuals.
RESULTS: In the patient, sequencing analysis of one DNA strand revealed a deletion of eight nucleotides (c.1074-1081delCAATTTG) in the 5' fragment of the last exon of TRAF6, while no deletion was detected in the other DNA strand indicating a heterozygous mutation. No such sequence abnormality was detected in the patient's parents and her sister.
CONCLUSION: This is the first report of a heterozygous TRAF6 sequence variant associated with symptoms typical of HED.
