Abstract excerpt
We report the clinical and pathological features of two pedigrees of palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), the expression of keratin 9 (K9) in palm tissue and the mutation of the keratin 9 gene (KRT9). Histopathology and immunohistochemical assessment was performed to analyze the epidermis in the palm of the probands. Genomic DNA of 46 family individuals was used for amplification of exon 1 of KRT9. The mutations were...
