OSBPL2 compound heterozygous variants cause dyschromatosis, ichthyosis, deafness and atopic disease syndrome
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease(2024)
Abstract
Purpose
In this study, we identified and diagnosed a novel inherited condition called Dyschromatosis, Ichthyosis, Deafness, and Atopic Disease (DIDA) syndrome. We present a series of studies to clarify the pathogenic variants and specific mechanism.
Methods
Exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing was conducted in affected and unaffected family members. A variety of human and cell studies were performed to explore the pathogenic process of keratosis.
Results
Our finding indicated that DIDA syndrome was caused by compound heterozygous variants in the oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 2 (OSBPL2) gene. Furthermore, our findings revealed a direct interaction between OSBPL2 and Phosphoinositide phospholipase C-beta-3 (PLCB3), a key player in hyperkeratosis. OSBPL2 effectively inhibits the ubiquitylation of PLCB3, thereby stabilizing PLCB3. Conversely, OSBPL2 variants lead to enhanced ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of PLCB3, leading to epidermal hyperkeratosis, characterized by aberrant proliferation and delayed terminal differentiation of keratinocytes.
Conclusions
Our study not only unveiled the association between OSBPL2 variants and the newly identified DIDA syndrome but also shed light on the underlying mechanism.
