Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Netherton syndrome (NS) is a genodermatosis caused by loss-of-function mutations in SPINK5, resulting in aberrant LEKTI expression. METHOD: Next-generation sequencing of SPINK5 (NM_001127698.1) was carried out and functional studies were performed by immunofluorescence microscopy of a lesional skin biopsy using anti-LEKTI antibodies. RESULTS: We describe a novel SPINK5 likely pathogenic donor splice...
