Abstract

BackgroundCollagen XVII is most typically associated with human disease when biallelicCOL17A1variants (>230) cause junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB), a rare, genetically heterogeneous, mucocutaneous blistering disease with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), a developmental enamel defect. Despite recognition that heterozygous carriers in JEB families can have AI, and that heterozygousCOL17A1variants also cause dominant corneal epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy (ERED), the importance of heterozygousCOL17A1variants causing dominant non-syndromic AI is not widely recognised.MethodsProbands from an AI cohort were screened by single molecule molecular inversion probes or targeted hybridisation capture (both a custom panel and whole exome sequencing) forCOL17A1variants. Patient phenotypes were assessed by clinical examination and analyses of affected teeth.ResultsNineteen unrelated probands with isolated AI (no co-segregating features) had 17 heterozygous, potentially pathogenicCOL17A1variants, including missense, premature termination codons, frameshift and splice site variants in both the endo-domains and the ecto-domains of the protein. The AI phenotype was consistent with enamel of near normal thickness and variable focal hypoplasia with surface irregularities including pitting.ConclusionThese results indicate thatCOL17A1variants are a frequent cause of dominantly inherited non-syndromic AI. Comparison of variants implicated in AI and JEB identifies similarities in type and distribution, with five identified in both conditions, one of which may also cause ERED. Increased availability of genetic testing means that more individuals will receive reports of heterozygousCOL17A1variants. We propose that patients with isolated AI or ERED, due toCOL17A1variants, should be considered as potential carriers for JEB and counselled accordingly, reflecting the importance of multidisciplinary care.
