Abstract excerpt
Mutations within EDA1 gene, which encodes for the ectodysplasin, cause X-linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. In this study, 23 Italian patients with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia were analyzed for mutations in EDA1 gene. We set up a rapid protocol through denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography, followed by sequencing, that allowed the characterization of 18 mutations, 14 novel and 4 recurrent: 8...
