Abstract excerpt
Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked genodermatosis that is lethal for males and present in females with abnormal skin pigmentation and high variable clinical signs, including retinal detachment, anodontia, alopecia, nail dystrophy and nervous system defects. The NF-kappaB essential modulator (NEMO) gene, responsible for IP, encodes the regulatory subunit of the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex required for...
