Sporadic Kindler Syndrome with a novel mutation*
We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with Kindler syndrome, a rare form of epidermolysis bullosa. Clinically, since childhood, she had widespread pigmentary changes in her skin as well as photosensitivity and fragility of the skin and mucous membranes. The mucosal involvement led to an erosive stomatitis as well as esophageal, anal and vaginal stenoses, requiring surgical intervention. The...
متن کاملA Novel Nonsense Mutation in Exon 5 of KIND1 Gene in an Iranian Family with Kindler Syndrome.
BACKGROUND Kindler syndrome (KS) is an autosomal recessive skin disease characterized by actual blistering, photosensitivity and a progressive poikiloderma. The disorder results from rare mutations in the KIND1 gene. This gene contains 15 exons and expresses two kindlin-1 isoforms. OBJECTIVE The aim of this investigation was to analyze mutations in the exons 1 to 15 of KIND1 gene in an Irania...
متن کاملA Novel Nonsense mutation in PANK2 Gene in Two Patients with Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration
Pantothenate kinase- associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive extrapyramidal dysfunction and iron accumulation in the brain and axonal spheroids in the central nervous system. It has been shown that the disorder is caused by mutations in PANK2 gene which codes for a mitochondrial enzyme participating in coenzyme A biosynthe...

abstract goldberg-shprintzen syndrome (omim 609460) (goshs) is an autosomal recessive multiple congenital anomaly syndrome distinguished by intellectual disability, microcephaly, and dysmorphic facial characteristics. most affected individuals also have hirschsprung disease and/or gyral abnormalities of the brain. this syndrome has been shown to be associated with kiaa1279 gene mutations at 10q...
متن کاملKindler syndrome: a new mutation and new diagnostic possibilities.
BACKGROUND Kindler syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by blistering in infancy, followed by the onset of poikiloderma and photosensitivity in childhood. The recently elucidated molecular pathogenesis involves mutations in KIND1, a gene encoding the protein kindlin-1, which is involved in the attachment of the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix in basal ke...
