Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To map and identify the disease gene for the epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK) in a Uighur family of China. METHODS: Blood samples were collected and genomic DNA was extracted from 48 members of the Xinjiang Uighur family. Six microsatellite repeat sequences on chromosome region 17q12-q21 and 12q13 were selected based on the two known candidate genes KRT9 and KRT1. Two-point linkage...
