AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We have identified nonsense mutations in the gene CDSN (encoding corneodesmosin) in three families suffering from hypotrichosis simplex of the scalp (HSS; OMIM 146520). CDSN, a glycoprotein expressed in the epidermis and inner root sheath (IRS) of hair follicles, is a keratinocyte adhesion molecule. Truncated CDSN aggregates were detected in the superficial dermis and at the periphery of hair follicles. Our findings suggest that CDSN is important in normal scalp hair physiology.

Congenital cataract is the most common cause of lifelong visual loss in children worldwide, which has significant genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity. The LSS gene encodes lanosterol synthase (LSS), which acts on the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway by converting (S)-2,3-oxidosqualene to lanosterol. The biallelic pathogenic variants in the LSS gene were found in congenital cataract, Alopecia-intellectual disability syndrome, hypotrichosis simplex, and mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma.
