Abstract excerpt
To appreciate point mutations in keratin genes as causes for hereditary epithelial diseases, the normal variation of these gene sequences in the population must be known. Because genetic polymorphism of keratins at the protein level due to allelic variation has been described for the type II keratins 4 and 5, we have analyzed their corresponding genes using single-strand conformation polymorphism gel...
