3 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acne inversa (AI; MIM 142690), or hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), is a type of autosomal-dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in γ-secretase. The complex of γ-secretase is a transmembrane protease that catalyses the cleavage of a set of membrane proteins and is comprised of four subunits encoded by four genes, including PSEN1, PSENEN, NCSTN and APH1. However, mutations associated with AI vary...
