A novel insertion mutation in the ADAR1 gene of a Chinese family with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria.

Abstract excerpt

Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) is an autosomal dominant pigmentary genodermatosis, characterized by a mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules that are mainly present on the dorsal portions of the extremities. The DSH locus was mapped to chromosome 1q11-q12 and, subsequently, pathogenic mutations in the double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase (ADAR1) gene were identified. We...
