Abstract:
Objective To detect gene mutations in a family of congenital atrichia with papular lesions (APL). Methods Polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing were used to search for mutations in the HR gene (a causative gene of APL), the CJB6 gene, and the CDSN gene. Results No mutation was found in these three genes except for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HR and CDSN genes. Conclusion No mutation is identified in the HR, CJB6 or CDSN gene in this family affected by congenital APL.
