Characterization of an immortalized cell line from a patient with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.

Abstract excerpt

The most frequent mutation that causes the autosomal dominant skin disease epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is an arginine to histidine substitution at position 10 in the 1A segment of the rod domain of keratin 10. As an initial step toward developing a strategy for treating EHK, a cell line, EH18-1, was established after keratinocytes derived from an EHK patient with this mutation were immortalized by a...
