Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant dermatosis. It causes suprabasilar acantholysis leading to vesicular and crusted erosions affecting the flexures. Mutation of ATP2C1 gene encoding the human secretory pathway Ca(2+) /Mn(2+) -ATPase (hSPCA1) was identified to be the cause of this entity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to study the mutational profile of the ATP2C1 gene in...
