A novel missense mutation in SCYL1BP1 produces geroderma osteodysplastica phenotype indistinguishable from that caused by nullimorphic mutations

Abstract: Effect of aging on decreased skin elasticity and bone mass is well known. Geroderma osteodysplastica (GO) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder that recapitulates these two phenotypes at a much younger age. Using homozygosity mapping and linkage analysis in four Saudi families we have identified two mutations in SCYL1BP1, consistent with the very recent report by Hennies et al. [Hennies et al. (2008); Nat Genet 40: 1410-1412]. Interestingly, the missense mutation identified in our study is associated wit… Show more

“…Recent evidence demonstrates that Scyl1BP1 (also known as Golgi-associated Rab-binding protein or GORAB) binds Rab6 in a GTP-dependant manner and localizes to the Golgi, prompting the authors to classify GORAB as a golgin [31]. Interestingly, when mutated, GORAB results in Gerodermia Osteodysplastica (GO) in humans [31], [32]. Thus a Scyl1/GORAB/Rab6 complex may exist.…”

“…Mutations in this gene were found to cause Gerodermia osteodysplastica [45,46]. Most of the mutations identified in this gene lead to a loss of protein expression, however in one affected family the mutation still led to protein expression but the function was lost [46]. In all cases no detectable changes in Golgi complex morphology were found.…”

“…This condition is characterized by premature aged appearance, drooping cheeks, maxillary hypoplasia, wrinkled skin, and osteopenia [15]. There is also an oblique furrowing extending from the outer canthus to the lateral border of the supraorbital ridge [19]. Due to the osteopenia, the bones, particularly the vertebrae, are susceptible to fracture [20].…”
