Background: Familial comedones without dyskeratosis are a rare autosomal dominant skin disorder, characterized by the occurrence of comedones that are distributed all over the body with specific features. We have previously reported two Thai families with familial comedones with expanded phenotypic spectrum. However, its genetic defect and pathogenesis remain unknown. Objective: To explore the molecular defect causing familial comedones. Methods: Whole-genome linkage analysis and whole-exome sequencing in family I were performed.Results: We identified a heterozygous one-base pair insertion, c.84_85insT (p. L28FfsX93) in PEN-2, located within the linked region on chromosome 19. PCR-Sanger sequencing confirmed the identified mutation. The mutation segregated with the disease phenotype in family I and was fully penetrant. This similar mutation was also present in the unrelated affected individual from family II. Quantitative PCR revealed increased mRNA expression of PEN-2 in leukocytes of affected individuals. Conclusion: We for the first time identify PEN-2 as the causative gene of familial comedones.
