Abstract excerpt
PLACK syndrome is a relatively recently defined generalized peeling skin syndrome that has been reported with major skin manifestations and sometimes atypical features. We report the case of a 5-year-old boy with PLACK manifestations. Whole exome sequencing and subsequent Sanger sequencing identified a putative splice variant c.1209+2T>G in CAST (NM_001042440.5). Moreover, mRNA sequencing confirmed the abnormal...
