Abstract
Inherited photosensitivity syndromes are a heterogeneous group of genetic skin disorders with tremendous phenotypic variability, characterized by photosensitivity and defective DNA repair, especially nucleotide excision repair. A cohort of 17 Iranian families with heritable photosensitivity syndromes was evaluated to identify their genetic defect. The patients' DNA was analyzed with either whole-exome sequencing or RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The interpretations of the genomic results were guided by genome-wide homozygosity mapping. Haplotype analysis was performed for cases with recurrent mutations. RNA-Seq, in addition to mutation detection, was also utilized to confirm the pathogenicity. Thirteen sequence variants, including six previously unreported pathogenic variants, were disclosed in 17 Iranian families, with XPC as the most common mutated gene in 10 families (59%). In one patient, RNA-Seq, as a first-tier diagnostic approach, revealed a non-canonical homozygous germline variant: XPC:c.413-9 T > A. The Sashimi plot showed skipping of exon 4 with dramatic XPC down-expression. Haplotype analysis of XPC:c.2251-1 G>C and XPC:1243 C>T in four families showed common haplotypes of 1.7 Mb and 2.6 Mb, respectively, denoting a founder effect. Lastly, two extremely rare cases were presented in this report: a homozygous UVSSA:c .1990 C>T was disclosed, and ERCC2-related cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal (COFS) syndrome with an early childhood death. A direct comparison of our data with the results of previously reported cohorts demonstrates the international mutation landscape of DNA repair-related photosensitivity disorders, although population-specific differences were observed.

Abstract
Recalcitrant warts, caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs), can be a cutaneous manifestation of inborn error of immunity. This study investigated the clinical manifestations, immunodeficiency, single-gene susceptibility, and HPV repertoire in a consanguineous family with severe sinopulmonary infections and recalcitrant warts. Clinical and immunologic evaluations, including FACS and lymphocyte transformation test, provided evidence for immunodeficiency. Combined whole-exome sequencing and genome-wide homozygosity mapping were utilized to disclose candidate sequence variants. Whole-transcriptome sequencing was used to concomitantly investigate the HPV genotypes and the consequences of detected sequence variants in the host. The proband, a male aged 41 years, was found to be homozygous for the c.6delG, p.Lys2Asnfs∗17 variant in ICOS, encoding the inducible T-cell costimulator. This variant was located inside the 5 megabase of runs of homozygosity on 2q33.2. RNA sequencing confirmed the deleteriousness of the ICOS variant in three skin biopsies revealing significant downregulation of ICOS and its ligand, ICOSLG. Reads unaligned to the human genome were applied to 926 different viruses, and α-HPV57, β-HPV107, β-HPV14, and β-HPV17 were detected. Collectively, we describe a previously unrecognized inborn error of T-cell immunity to HPVs, indicating that autosomal recessive ICOS deficiency can underlie recalcitrant warts, emphasizing the immunologic underpinnings of recalcitrant warts at the nexus of human and viral genomic variation.

Abstract
DST encodes bullous pemphigoid antigen-1 (BPAG1), a protein with eight tissue-specific isoforms expressed in the skin, muscle, brain, and nerves. Accordingly, mutations in this gene are associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 6 (HSAN-VI). The genotypic spectrum is attested to by 19 distinct mutations but genotype-phenotype correlation for both disorders is not well established. In this study, we performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) on two families with different phenotypic presentations, one fetus (P1) with musculoskeletal and neurological malformations established by prenatal ultrasound and family history, and a 15-year-old female (P2) with skin blistering. P1 had a novel homozygous nonsense mutation, DST: NM_001144769, c.3805C>T, p.R1269* within a region of homozygosity (ROH). This mutation resides within the plakin domain of BPAG1 and ablates all isoforms of this protein, leading to novel extracutaneous phenotypes consistent with HSAN-VI in P1. P2 had a recurrent homozygous mutation DST: NM_001723.7, c.3370C>T, p.Gln1124* that presented with giant, trauma-induced skin blisters without extracutaneous involvement. This mutation is located within the coiled-coil domain present on the skin isoform of DST, BPGA1-e, associated with EBS. In summary, we report two families with pathogenic DST variants and expand the spectrum of DST genotype and phenotypes.
