Abstract:
Objective To identify the hairless gene mutations in a family of atrichia with papular lesions. Methods Skin biopsies were taken from typical lesions for histopathological examination. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of the family members. Complete encoding sequences of hairless gene Dwere detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. Results Compound heterozygous mutations were identified in the patient: G337D in exon 3 and Q498X in exon 4. There was only one of the mutations in his parents and a younger brother. Conclusions G337D and Q498X mutations in hairless gene seem to be responsible for the phenotypes in the patient suffered from atrichia with papular lesions.
