Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding the human fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) is located on 17p11.2, causing Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) when mutated. SLS is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a combination of mental retardation, congenital ichthyosis, and spastic di- or tetraplegia. We repor...
