Abstract excerpt
Steroid sulfatase (STS) is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and catalyzes desulfation of 3beta-hydroxysteroid sulfates. X-linked ichthyosis (XLI) is an inherited skin disorder caused by deficiency of STS enzyme activity. We previously reported a case in which XLI with a one-base change in the STS gene and variation in amino acid Q560P developed. In this study, we performed molecular analysis to determine...
