Abstract excerpt
Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is a genodermatosis caused by mutations in either the keratin 1 (K1) or keratin 10 (K10) genes, and characterized by erythroderma and blistering at birth, with development of a ribbed, ichthyotic hyperkeratosis and palmoplantar keratoderma. A wide variety of mutations within the highly conserved helix termination motifs of the central rod domains of the K1 or K10 genes correlate...
