Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PNPLA1 is a causative gene of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis. The transacylase PNPLA1 produces ω-O-acylceramides (acylceramides), lipids essential for the skin barrier function, by catalyzing the transfer of a linoleic acid from triglycerides to ω-hydroxyceramides. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to validate the involvement of PNPLA1 mutations found in ichthyosis patients in the pathogenesis and...
