Keratin diseases.

Abstract excerpt

The recent discovery that epidermal fragility syndromes can be caused by mutations in the genes for keratin intermediate filaments has been a turning point for research into these structural proteins. Clustering of pathogenic mutations implies differential structural sensitivity along the keratin molecule, and implications for filament function require a new look at culture assay systems, plus a reassessment of...
