Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous healing with no or only very mild ichthyosis distinguishes the "self-healing collodion baby" from other congenital ichthyoses. In two self-healing collodion baby siblings with markedly diminished epidermal transglutaminase 1 activity we found the compound heterozygous transglutaminase 1 mutations G278R and D490G. Molecular modeling and biochemical assays of mutant proteins under elevated hydrostatic...
