Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the transglutaminase 1 gene locus in patients from six unrelated Italian families affected by autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis. In two families we identified a novel mutation (E520G) in the gene coding region, a previously reported splicing mutation (A3447G), and the mis-sense mutations S272P and V518M. The latter mutation, hitherto considered disease causing, was found to be a simple...
