Abstract excerpt
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are rare severe cutaneous adverse reactions to drugs. Granulysin (GNLY) plays a key role in keratinocyte apoptosis during SJS/TEN pathophysiology. To determine if GNLY-encoding mutations might be related to the protein's functional disturbances, contributing to SJS/TEN pathogenesis, we performed direct sequencing of GNLY's coding region in a...
