Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the mutation of the keratin 9 gene (KRT9) in a pedigree with epidermolytic plamoplantar keratoderma (EPPK). METHODS: Blood samples were obtained from 4 affected and 3 normal individuals in this family. Mutation screening was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct DNA sequencing. RESULTS: A heterozygous nucleotide C to T transition at position 484 in exon 1 of the KRT9 gene...
