Identification of novel mutation in cathepsin C gene causing Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome in Mexican patients

Abstract: BackgroundPapillon-Lefèvre Syndrome (PLS) is a type IV genodermatosis caused by mutations in cathepsin C (CTSC), with a worldwide prevalence of 1–4 cases per million in the general population. In México, the prevalence of this syndrome is unknown, and there are few case reports. The diagnosis of twenty patients in the state of Sinaloa highlights the need to characterize this syndrome in Mexicans.MethodsTo understand the basis of PLS in Mexicans, the gene expression, enzymatic activity and mutational analysis o… Show more

“…NSPs themselves should act as useful biomarkers in understanding this effect. For example, it should be relatively straightforward to monitor the NSP activity and DPP1 inhibition in blood in early phase 1 clinical trials using established techniques (Stevens et al, 2011;Romero-Quintana et al, 2013). Such readily accessible biomarkers should enable good evidence of proof of mechanism to be achieved early in the development process for a suitable DPP1 inhibitor candidate drug.…”

“…Specific PPK forms can be recognized by prominent mucosal involvement. In particular, severe periodontitis with premature tooth decay typifies two peculiar PPKs due to mutations of the cathepsin C (CTSC) gene [21][22][23][24] (Table S1): the Haim-Munk (HMS) and the Papillon-Lef evre (PLS) syndromes. [25][26][27] Cathepsin C is a lysosomal cysteine protease acting as an activator of serine proteases of immune and inflammatory cells 24 and possibly as a modulator of epithelial differentiation.…”
