BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is an autosomal recessive
disease. Clinical characteristics of this disease are hoarse voice, scarring of
the skin, brain calcifications, and eyelid papules (moniliform blepharosis).
Mutations in the ECM1 gene on 1q21.2 are responsible for this disease. This study
was conducted to investigate the mutation spectrum of ECM1 gene in nine Iranian
families having at least one LP patient diagnosed clinically. METHODS: The entire
ECM1 gene was screened using PCR and direct sequencing in nine Iranian families
with 12 suspected LP patients who were referred to the clinic, along with their
parents and siblings. Thirty healthy individuals were included as controls.
RESULTS: In only one patient a homozygous G>A transition at nucleotide c.806 in
exon 7 was detected. A G>A substitution at nucleotide 1243 in exon 8 that changes
glycine (GGT) to serine (AGT) was observed in most of our patients. Furthermore,
in one patient there was a change in the sequence of intron 8, the A>T transition
in nucleotide 4307. In addition, in two cases (one patient and one healthy mother
with affected child) there was a C (4249) deletion in intron 8. INTERPRETATION &
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that although mutation in ECM1gene is
responsible for lipoid proteinosis, it is likely that this is not the only gene
causing this disease and probably other genes may be involved in the pathogenesis
of the LP disease.
