BACKGROUND: Hereditary ichthyosis is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder associated with more than 50 genes with TGM1, ALOX12B, and ALOXE3 being the most prevalent. Establishing an accurate diagnosis is important for effective genetic counseling and optimal patient management. OBJECTIVE: We studied the diagnostic value of whole exome sequencing (WES) in a small case series with hereditary ichthyosis. METHODS: During a 1-year period, index cases of 5 unrelated families clinically diagnosed with hereditary ichthyosis went through WES, followed by extensive segregation analysis. Prenatal diagnosis (PND) was conducted where indicated. RESULTS: We identified 4 homozygous variants-2 in TGM1 (c.655A > G and c.797A > G) and 2 in ALOX12B (c.527 + 2 T > G and c.1654G > T)-alongside a heterozygous variant in TGM1 (c.428G > A) in 5 families. The variants were all pathogenic/likely pathogenic according to the ACMG classification and segregation analysis, except for c.797A > G in TGM1 which remained a variant of unknown clinical significance. Four variants were novel. All families were referred either during pregnancy or before reproductive planning; 4 benefited from WES as it identified the mutation in the probands and enabled carrier detection in at-risk relatives; PND was conducted in 2 families. CONCLUSION: Our findings further support WES is a powerful tool for the comprehensive, accurate, and rapid molecular diagnosis of hereditary ichthyosis and can offer opportunities for reproductive planning, carrier screening and prenatal diagnosis to at-risk families.
