Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Kindler syndrome (KS) is a rare, inherited skin disease characterized by blister formation and generalized poikiloderma. Mutations in KIND1, which encodes kindlin-1, are responsible for KS. c.1089del/1089+1del is a recurrent splice-site deletion mutation in KS patients. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the effects of c.1089del/1089+1del at the mRNA and protein level. METHODS: Two KS patients with...
