RCV000156854 | SCV000206575 | likely pathogenic | Hypohidrotic X-linked ectodermal dysplasia | 2015-12-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The duplication of exon 2 in EDA has been identified by our laboratory in 1 male with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) and segregated with features of HE D in 1 mildly affected sister. It has also been identified in 3 females, two of whom had features of HED (Al Marzouqi 2014, LMM data). The exact location, size and breakpoints of the duplication cannot be determined due to limitations of th e method. Larger duplications spanning this region have been reported in 3 femal es without any reported clinical features (Kidd 2008; DGV nsv6948; Shaikh 2009 p ers. com.; DGV nsv520990); however, this may be due to skewed X-inactivation whi ch may lead to milder or absent clinical features in females. In summary, althou gh additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the duplication of exon 2 variant is likely pathogenic. |
