Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease with a complex genetic etiology. Although three causative genes (PTCH1, PTCH2, SUFU) have been identified through linkage analysis and Sanger sequencing, the genetic background of NBCCS hasn't been fully understood. METHODS: We performed a whole-exome sequencing (WES) in a Han Chinese NBCCS family and two unaffected...
