This study successfully identified eight mutations in the ATP2C1 gene and one mutation in the ATP2A2 gene using whole exome sequencing. The overall mutation rate reached 90.4%, demonstrating that whole exome sequencing can improve the mutation detection sensitivity in HHD compared with Sanger sequencing.
Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is an autosomal dominant monogenic disease that is defective in the ATP2C1 gene. In previous studies, Sanger sequencing was the main method applied to detect mutations in HHD patients, and no mutations in the ATP2C1 gene were found in 12-55% of those reported. The aim of our study was to carry out whole exome sequencing (WES) for the HHD patients in whom efforts to identify mutations by Sanger sequencing had failed, and to find a new pathogenic gene. WES was performed using genomic DNA from 13 HHD patients and 364 in-house healthy controls. Potential pathogenic mutations were subsequently validated by Sanger sequencing. As a result, eight mutations in the ATP2C1 gene were identified using WES. In the remaining five patients, we found one mutation in the ATP2A2 gene which was the causal gene of Darier's disease. Four patients had no detectable mutations in ATP2C1 and the other ATPase genes. Together with our previous study in 2019, the total mutation rate was calculated to be 47/52 (90.4%). These findings demonstrate that WES is capable of improving the mutation detection sensitivity in HHD compared with Sanger sequencing.
