Abstract excerpt
Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis (NPPK) is an autosomal recessive skin disorder with a high, unmet medical need that is caused by mutations in SERPINB7. Almost all NPPK patients carry the founder nonsense mutation c.796C>T (p.Arg266Ter) in the last exon of SERPINB7. Here we sought to determine whether topical nonsense-suppression (readthrough) therapy using gentamicin is applicable to NPPK. First, we...
