Bone: Subungual exostosis with t(X;6)(q13;q22) COL4A5/COL12A1

Identity

ICD-Topo	C400-C403,C408-C414,C418-C419 BONES & JOINTS
Atlas_Id	5526
Phylum	Bones::Subungual exostosis
Other names	Dupuytren's exostosis

Classification

Note	Benign bone-producing neoplasm of unknown cellular origin.

Clinics and Pathology

Disease	Subungual exostosis.
Phenotype / cell stem origin	Unknown.
Embryonic origin	Unknown.
Etiology	Unknown.
Epidemiology	Affects children and young adults.
Clinics	Subungual exostosis usually presents as a slowly growing, painful mass localized dorsomedially in the distal phalanx, and in contrast to osteochondroma, there is usually no continuity with the underlying cortex.
Treatment	Surgical excision, but local recurrences are not uncommon.
Prognosis	Excellent.

Cytogenetics

Cytogenetics Morphological	t(X;6)(q22;q13-14).
	Partial G-banding karyotype showing chromosomes 6 and X in a case of subungual exostosis. The arrows indicate the breakpoints.
Cytogenetics Molecular	A Probe specific for COL12A1 (RP11-815E21) identified the breakpoint in 6q14.1, as it showed splitting signals on der(X) and der(6). On the same chromosomes, these signals colocalized with the signals of RP11-815E21, encompassing the COL4A5 and IRS4 genes in band Xq22.3.
	FISH experiment revealing the breakpoint regions on both chromosomes 6 and X on a case of subungual exostosis.
Probes	RP11-815E21 (COL4A5 and IRS4); RP11-1072D13 (COL12A1).
Variants	The breakpoint on chromosome 6 could be centromeric to COL4A5, in an unknown location.

Genes involved and Proteins

Gene Name	COL4A5 (collagen type IV alpha 5 chain)
Location	Xq22.3
Note	It is currently unknown whether any of these two genes is involved in the pathogenesis of subungual exostosis.
Dna / Rna	Genomic (chrX:107,569,810-107,827,431). Three transcript variants: isoform 1 (NM_000495), isoform 2 (NM_033380), isoform 3 (NM_03338).
Protein	Three proteins, respectively encoded by the isoform 1 (695 aa), isoform 2 (1691 aa), and isoform 3 (1688 aa).

Gene Name	COL12A1 (collagen type XII alpha 1 chain)
Location	6q13
Dna / Rna	Genomic (chr6:75,850,762-75,972,343). Two transcript variants, a long (NM_004370) and a short isoform (NM_080645).
Protein	Two proteins: 1899 amino acids (aa) and 3063 aa, respectively encoded by the short and long transcript isoforms.

Result of the chromosomal anomaly

Hybrid Gene
Note	No detected fusion gene.

To be noted

To elucidate how the transcription of these genes is affected by the translocation, further fresh or fresh frozen samples need to be studied.
