This study aimed to identify mutations in the ATP2C1 gene in two Chinese pedigrees and two sporadic cases with Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD). Three heterozygous mutations were detected, including two novel compound mutations and one known mutation. The study concluded that the c.1402C>T mutation in the ATP2C1 gene is a regionally highly prevalent mutation in the Chinese population with HHD.
Purpose: Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD), also known as familial benign chronic pemphigus, is a rare autosomal dominant inherited blistering dermatosis. Pathogenic variants in ATP2C1 have been associated with HHD since 2000. This study aimed to identify the mutations in the ATP2C1 gene in two Chinese pedigrees and two sporadic cases with HHD.Patients and Methods: Two Chinese pedigrees and two sporadic cases were included in this study. Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed to detect the mutation of the ATP2C1 gene. Predictions of protein structure and function were performed using bioinformatics tools, including Mutation Taster, Polyphen-2, SIFT, and Swiss-Model.Results: In this study, we detected three heterozygous mutations, including novel compound mutations of (c.1840-4delA and c.1840_1844delGTTGC), splice site mutation of c.1570+3A>C, and a previously known nonsense mutation c.1402C>T in the ATP2C1 gene. Combined with our previous study, ten patients with c.1402C>T mutation in the ATP2C1 gene have been identified, and all these patients originated from Jiangxi Province.Conclusion: c.1402C>T mutation in the ATP2C1 gene was considered a regional highly prevalent mutation in the Chinese population with HHD. The results added new variants to the database of ATP2C1 mutations associated with HHD.
