Abstract excerpt
Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is a blistering skin disease inherited as an autosomal-dominant trait. The disease is caused by genetic defects of the epidermal keratin K1 or K10, leading to an impaired tonofilament network of differentiating epidermal cells. Here, we describe for the first time a kindred with recessive inheritance of EHK. Sequence analysis revealed a homozygous nonsense mutation of the KRT10...
