[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PEPD_HUMAN PEPD_HUMAN] Defects in PEPD are a cause of prolidase deficiency (PD) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/170100 170100]. Prolidase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with iminodipeptiduria. The clinical phenotype includes skin ulcers, mental retardation, recurrent infections, and a characteristic facies. These features, however are incompletely penetrant and highly variable in both age of onset and severity. There is a tight linkage between the polymorphisms of prolidase and the myotonic dystrophy trait.<ref>PMID:2365824</ref> <ref>PMID:8198124</ref> <ref>PMID:8900231</ref> <ref>PMID:12384772</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Prolidase Deficiency (PD) is an autosomal recessive rare disorder caused by loss or reduction of prolidase enzymatic activity due to variants in the PEPD gene. PD clinical features vary among affected individuals: skin ulcerations, recurrent infections, and developmental delay are common. In this study, we describe a 16-year-old boy with a mild PD phenotype comprising chronic eczema, recurrent infections and elevated IgE. Whole exome sequencing analysis revealed three PEPD variants: c.575T&gt;C p.(Leu192Pro) inherited from the mother, and c.692_694del p.(Tyr231del) and c.1409G&gt;A p.(Arg470His), both inherited from the father. The variant p.(Tyr231del) has been previously characterized by high-resolution X-ray structure analysis as altering protein dynamics/flexibility. In order to study the effects of the other two prolidase variants, we performed site directed mutagenesis purification and crystallization studies. A high-resolution X-ray structure could only be obtained for the p.(Arg470His) variant, which showed no significant structural differences in comparison to WT prolidase. On the other hand, the p.(Leu192Pro) variant led to significant protein destabilization. Hence, we conclude that the maternal p.(Leu192Pro) variant was likely causally associated with the proband s disease, together with the known pathogenic paternal variant p.(Tyr231del). Our results demonstrated the utility of exome sequencing to perform diagnosis in PD cases with mild phenotype.
