Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human homolog of the Drosophila patched gene, patched homologue 1 (PTCH-1), are responsible for most hereditary and sporadic basal cell carcinomas. Here, we present a father and daughter with a high propensity for the development of basal cell carcinoma who were heterozygous for a non-coding germline mutation in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of PTCH-1 (insertion of a surplus CGG triplet at the...
