Ichthyoses are a genetically heterogeneous group of skin disorders characterized by a disturbed skin permeability barrier leading to an abnormal desquamation over the whole body. One of the major functions of the human skin is to protect the body against dehydration; therefore the water barrier of the skin strictly regulates transepidermal water loss (TEWL). The latest nomenclature of Oji et al. (1) distinguishes between syndromic and non-syndromic forms of ichthyoses; syndromic ichthyoses are relatively easy to diagnose due to their association with typical additional symptoms like hair abnormalities or neurological defects. The group of non-syndromic ichthyoses is divided into 3 subgroups: (i) common ichthyosis, such as ichthyosis vulgaris and X-linked recessive ichthyoses, which are mostly not present at birth; (ii) keratinopathic ichthyosis, which are caused by mutations in the genes KRT1, KRT2 or KRT10; and (iii) autosomal congenital recessive ichthyosis (ARCI), for which mutations in 8 disease-associated genes are known to date: TGM1, ABCA12, ALOXE3, ALOX12B, CYP4F22, NIPAL4 (reviewed in Traupe et al. 2014 (2)), PNPLA1 (3) and CERS3 (4). Additionally mutations in LIPN were described for a clinically similar non-congenital ichthyosis by Israeli et al. (5). Using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-genotyping and whole-exome-sequencing (WES) we identified a deletion of 2 base pairs (bp) (c.462_463delCA) in the gene Caspase 14 (CASP14) in 3 patients with a mild form of generalized ichthyosis from 2 Algerian families (Fig. S1a, b1). The mutation is predicted to lead to a frame shift, resulting in a truncated protein. To date, 11 functional human caspases (cysteinylaspartate specific protease) are known (caspase 1–10 and caspase14). Most of them play a central role in apoptosis or inflammation and are ubiquitously expressed. They are synthesized as inactive zymogens and have to be processed to become activated. The zymogens consist of an N-terminal pro-domain, a large catalytic (p17) subunit and a small non-catalytic (p11) subunit. In contrast with other caspases CASP14 is not involved in apoptosis or inflammation and is mainly expressed in all suprabasal layers of the epidermis (6). A strong increase in CASP14 expression and activation has been observed during keratinocyte differentiation (7). After proteolytic maturation in the stratum granulosum, CASP14 degrades filaggrin (FLG) monomers in the stratum corneum to free hygroscopic amino acids (aa), the natural moisturizing factors (NMF) of the skin (8). FLG mutations are known to cause ichthyosis vulgaris (IV) (9). An additional function of CASP14 is the activation of mesotrypsin, which is necessary for the maturation of saposin A, a sphingolipid activator involved in the formation of the permeability barrier of the skin (10). Recently, Jung et al. (11) described a decreased CASP14 expression in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) that correlates with an impaired skin barrier function.
