Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a rare hereditary disorder of cornification. Mutations in the transglutaminase-1 (TGM1) gene, which encodes for the epidermal enzyme transglutaminase-1 (TGase-1), are one of the causes of ARCI. METHODS: The TGM1 mutation spectrum was characterised and genotype-phenotype correlations investigated in 104 patients with ARCI ascertained through the...
