Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The NIPAL4 gene is described to be implicated of Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma (CIE). It encodes a magnesium transporter membrane-associated protein, hypothetically involved in epidermal lipid processing and in lamellar body formation. The aim of this work is to investigate the causative mutation in a consanguineous Tunisian family with a clinical feature of CIE with a yellowish severe...
