Natural repair mechanisms in correcting pathogenic mutations in inherited skin disorders.

Abstract excerpt

This review assesses molecular aspects of the rescue of disease-causing mutations in genodermatoses by means of naturally occurring secondary genetic phenomena. Such data have important implications for the design of gene therapy approaches for inherited skin diseases. Reversal of the phenotype depends on three elements: the number of cells involved; the degree of gene reversal; and the specific timing of the...
