Abstract excerpt
We carried out molecular analyses of the novel flaky skin mutation, Ttc7(fsn-Jic )(a synonym for fsn(Jic)), which we found in a previous study. It was revealed that this mutation involved a genomic in-frame deletion including exons 9 and 10 of the Ttc7 gene, and that the genomic deletion in Ttc7 (fsn-Jic )may disrupt the tetratricopeptide repeat-2B domain of the TTC7 protein. Based on a comparison of three Ttc7...
