Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mid-dermal elastolysis (MDE) is a rare skin condition, characterized by selective loss of elastic fibres in the mid dermis. The pathogenesis of MDE is still unclear. AIM: To investigate expression of lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) in a reasonable sample of patients with MDE and to search for mutations in LOXL2. METHODS: We investigated archived lesional tissue of 13 patients with MDE and skin tissue...
