Abstract excerpt
Papillon Lefevre syndrome (PLS) manifests with palmoplantar keratoderma, combined with a rapidly progressive periodontitis associated with mutations in Cathepsin C (CTSC) gene. This article reports a 15-year old male proband with typical PLS traits having a novel compound heterozygote with p.Q49X mutation in exon 1 and p.Y259C missense mutation in exon 6 of CTSC gene respectively. The exon 1 mutation, p.Q49X,...
