| Research Abstract |
A Japanese female patient of chilblain lupus followed by us has family history of chilblain lupus which is considered autosomal dominant trait. The onset of chilblain lupus of the patient was 1 year-old. She shows skin ulcers on the bilateral fingers and nose, and has contraction of finger joints. Direct sequencing of all coding exons and exon-intron boundaries of TREX1 and SAMHD1 was conducted. The patient had a novel heterozygous missense TREX1 c.394C>G (p.Pro132Ala) mutation. in vitro 3 prime single stranded DNA exonuclease assay revealed that TREX1 p.Pro132Ala had dysfunction of enzyme activity. Taken together, we found familial chilblain lupus due to TREX1 dysfunction in Japan for the first time.
