Abstract excerpt
Poikiloderma with tendon contracture, myopathy and pulmonary fibrosis (POIKTMP) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by mutations in the FAM111B gene, characterised by multi-organ fibrosis, particularly affecting the lungs. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms of fibrosis in POIKTMP through genotyping and gene expression profiling of FAM111B and associated fibrotic pathways. Post-mortem formalin-fixed...
