Abstract excerpt
Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare, autosomal recessive, multisystem disorder characterized by sulfur-deficient brittle hair, growth and mental retardation, and ichthyosis. TTD is caused primarily by mutations in the xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) gene, which encodes a subunit of the basal transcription factor IIH. We have identified a novel heterozygous mutation in XPD (c.1906C>T; p.R636W) resulting in...
