Abstract excerpt
Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare autosomal recessively inherited disorder characterised by mental retardation, spasticity and ichthyosis. SLS patients have a profound deficiency in fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) activity. The human cDNA of FALDH has been shown to map to the SLS locus on chromosome 17p11.2. Here we describe a method based on reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)...
