  1. A phenotype combining hidradenitissuppurativa with Dowling-Degos disease caused by a founder mutation in PSENEN.

  3. Introduction DDD and HS share important clinical features including: • Autosomal dominant inheritance • Onset during puberty • Flexural location • Hair follicle involvement

  4. ADAM 10 NOTCH NOTCH POGLUT1 Kitamura Dowling Degos EBS KRT5 POFUT1 Gali Gali Dowling Degos Poliferation & pigmentation Proliferation & pigmentation Betz et al, Am J Hum Genet, 2006, Sprecher et al, Br J Dermatol, 2007; Li et al, Am J Hum Genet, 2013; Basmanv et al, Am J Hum Genet, 2014; Kono et al, Hum Mol genet, 2013

  5. ADAM 10 NOTCH NCSTN PS1 NOTCH POGLUT1 Kitamura PSENEN APH1 Dowling Degos EBS KRT5 g-secretase POFUT1 Gali Gali Dowling Degos Proliferation & pigmentation Wang et al, Science, 2010; Pink et al, J Invest Dermatol, 2013

  6. Methods • Four patients with a combination of DDD and HS • Sanger sequencing of PSENEN gene • Microsatellite analysis • qRT-PCR • Notch luciferase reporter construct

  7. Results – A novel mutation in PSENEN gene WT/WT WT/c.168T>G

  8. Results – Microsatellite analysis

  9. Results – Gene expression analysis

  10. Results -Notch luciferase reporter construct two sided t-test; ***p<0.001

  11. Discussion • Notch signaling has been shown to regulate differentiation of the interfollicular epithelium and hair follicles • Notch pathway contributes to the regulation of melanocyte homeostasis • Abnormal Notch signaling underlies the phenotypic manifestations of both HS and DDD

  12. Conclusions HS-DDD can be added to other disorders that are the result of abnormal Notch signaling
