Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the gene encoding transglutaminase 1 (TG1) are responsible for various types of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI), such as lamellar ichthyosis (LI), congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE) and some minor variants of ARCI. A point mutation of R143C in the β-sandwich domain of TG1 has been often identified in patients with LI or CIE. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the effect of...
