Abstract excerpt
The flaky skin (fsn) mutation in mice causes pleiotropic abnormalities including psoriasiform dermatitis, anemia, hyper-IgE, and anti-dsDNA autoantibodies resembling those detected in systemic lupus erythematosus. The fsn mutation was mapped to an interval of 3.9 kb on chromosome 17 between D17Mit130 and D17Mit162. Resequencing of known and predicted exons and regulatory sequences from this region in fsn/fsn and...
