A novel SPINK5 donor splice site variant in a child with Netherton syndrome
Abstract: Background
Netherton syndrome (NS) is a genodermatosis caused by loss-of-function mutations in SPINK5, resulting in aberrant LEKTI expression.
Method
Next-generation sequencing of SPINK5 (NM_001127698.1) was carried out and functional studies were performed by immunofluorescence microscopy of a lesional skin biopsy using anti-LEKTI antibodies.
Results
We describe a novel SPINK5 likely pathogenic donor splice site variant (NM_001127698.1:c.2015+5G>A) in a patient with NS and confirm its functional significance by demonstrating complete loss of LEKTI expression in lesional skin by immunofluorescence analysis.
Conclusion
The 2015+5G>A is a novel, likely pathogenic variant in NS. Herein we review and assimilate documented SPINK5 pathogenic variants and discuss possible genotype–phenotype associations in NS
