The purpose of this study was to identify new and low-frequency gene variants using whole exome sequencing (WES) in patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE), that may be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE. We performed WES on selected 17 trios (in some cases including other informative family members) in which the proband presented with severe, atypical clinical features, resistance to conventional therapy, a family pattern of occurrence and/or syndromic characteristics. After performing WES and analysis of gene variants, 17 novel and/or low-frequency variants were identified in 7 patients.

A 6-year-old female with a history of Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) presented to dermatology clinic with hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules and patches consistent with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH). Previous genetic workup demonstrated a de novo, heterozygous mutation in the adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR) gene. While the co-occurrence of AGS and DSH has previously been described in mutations of the ADAR gene, our case highlights the potential association between these disorders that may aid in earlier future diagnosis of AGS.

AGS6 manifests as acute onset of severe generalized dystonia of limbs and developmental regression secondary to febrile illness mostly. Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH), as pigmentary genodermatosis, is a characterized mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules.

Introduction And Importance: Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) are rare autosomal dominant pigmentary genodermatosis characterized by reticular hyper- and hypopigmented skin macules on the dorsal aspect of the extremities and freckle-like spots on the face, sparing the palms and soles. Cutaneous hemangiomas were not reported in the literature with DSH. We describe for the first time to the best of our knowledge a case of DSH with histopathologically confirmed eyelid hemangioma.

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome type 6 (AGS6) and dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) are allelic disorders caused respectively by biallelic and heterozygous pathogenic variants in ADAR1. We report three unrelated children presenting with features of both AGS6 and DSH, two of whom had compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in ADAR1. We also describe the novel genetic variants in our cases and review the literature on association of ADAR1-related AGS6 and DSH with these phenotypes.
