Sublocalization of the Papillon-Lefevre syndrome locus on 11q14-q21

Abstract excerpt

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive form of palmoplantar ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe early-onset periodontitis. The presence of severe periodontitis distinguishes PLS from other palmoplantar keratodermas. As part of our efforts to study the genetic basis of periodontitis susceptibility, we performed a genome-wide search to identify major loci...
