Amyloid cutis dyschromica (ACD) is a rare skin condition characterized by focal areas of hyperpigmentation with hypopigmented macules and distinct regions of amyloid deposition. Until recently, the genetic cause of ACD remained unknown. Several studies have since named GPNMB truncation mutations as causal, with protein loss-of-function underlying ACD pathogenesis. GPNMB missense mutations have also been observed in patients, but these are less well characterized; especially on a cellular level. Here, we observed that GPNMB missense mutations implicated in familial ACD show distinct cellular phenotypes that result in impaired protein maturation and processing from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), prompting failed trafficking to lysosomes. These missense mutations also show failed secretion of the extracellular fragment of GPNMB, a well-characterized property of the protein. Overall, this work highlights previously undescribed cellular characteristics of GPNMB missense mutations implicated in ACD and helps to better inform the clinically observed phenotypes, as well as underscore GPNMBs role at melanosomes.
