Abstract excerpt
Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is an autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis characterized by generalized dry skin and severe scaling. It is caused by biallelic mutations in the TGM1 gene, however molecular data from non-Caucasian populations are limited. Results of genetic-molecular analysis of a group of LI pedigrees originating from two close small populations from south Mexico are presented. LI affected...
