Gene-Targeted Next Generation Sequencing Identifies PNPLA1 Mutations in Patients with a Phenotypic Spectrum of Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis: The Impact of Consanguinity.

Abstract excerpt

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders associated with mutations in at least nine distinct genes. To ascertain the molecular basis of ichthyosis patients in Iran, a country of approximately 80 million people with a high prevalence of customary consanguineous marriages, we have developed a gene-targeted next generation sequencing array consisting of 38 genes reported in...
