Abstract excerpt
We report clinical and molecular findings in 20 patients from 11 families with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) linked to chromosome 17p13, and attributed to mutations in the ALOX gene cluster, which includes three lipoxygenase genes, ALOXE3, ALOX12B, and ALOX15B. We identified six novel missense mutations and one novel deletion leading to a premature stop codon in ALOX12B in only six out of the...
