Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the X-linked genes Tabby (Ta) in mice and EDA in humans result in developmental and functional abnormalities, primarily in the skin and hair follicles. Although both genes are believed to encode membrane-associated proteins, it has been suggested that, in the mouse, the mutation is linked to a deficiency of epidermal growth factor (EGF). This study investigated relationships between the skin...
