Abstract excerpt
We described a Japanese female with lamellar ichthyosis whose transglutaminase 1 gene (TGM1 gene) was mutated. DNA sequence analysis revealed that the patient had a homozygous mutation, i.e. a point mutation from G to A at nucleotide 1494 resulting in the substitution of glycine for arginine at codon 143. Her mother was heterozygous for this mutation. In situ transglutaminase assay in the patient's skin showed...
