Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) is a rare group of excessive skin disorder characterized by thickness over the palms and soles. The striate palmoplantar keratoderma (PPKS) is a form in which hyperkeratotic lesions are restricted to the pressure regions extending longitudinally in the length of each finger to the palm. Dominantly inherited mutations in genes including desmoglein 1, desmoplakin and keratin 1 have been suggested as genetic causes of PPKS. In this study, we investigated a three-generation Pakistani family segregating PPKS phenotype in autosomal dominant fashion to identify genetic cause in this family. We have performed whole-exome and Sanger sequencing followed by in silico bioinformatics analysis to pinpoint candidate mutation associated with PPK. Revealed a novel heterozygous mutation (NM_020882.2, COL20A1 c. 392C?>?G; p.Ser131Cys) in the loop region close to fibronectin type III-1 domain of the c ollagen 20 α1. This variant was not found in our in-house 219 ethnically matched Pakistani unaffected controls and showed minor allele frequency of 3.4 × 10?5 in Exome Aggregation Consortium database containing exome data of 59,464 worldwide individuals. It was assigned as “pathogenic” by in silico prediction tools. Previously, association of mutation in the COL14A1, one of the paralogous gene of COL20A1, with PPK was reported in the study with a Chinese family. Our study proposes COL20A1 gene as another potential candidate gene for PPKS which expand the spectrum of collagen proteins in the pathogenicity of PPK.
