Abstract excerpt
ATP2A2 encodes the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+- ATPase (SERCA2) and has been identified as a defective gene in Darier disease (DD). It is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis, which is characterized by loss of adhesion between suprabasal epidermal keratinocytes (acantholysis) and abnormal keratinization (dyskeratosis). We examined 28 Slovenian patients with DD (the cohort of patients represents over 50% of...
