Novel and recurrent ALDH3A2 mutations in Italian patients with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS; MIM#270200) is an autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disease caused by mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene for fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH), a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of medium- and long- chain aliphatic aldehydes fatty acids.
