Abstract excerpt
We and others have previously shown that ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by epidermal thickening and blistering, is caused by mutations in the late-differentiation keratin K2e. Here, we have determined the genomic organization and complete sequence of the KRT2E gene, which consists of nine exons, spanning 7634 bp of DNA. The gene was mapped by high-resolution...
