Desmoglein as a target in skin disease and beyond
Much of the original research on desmosomes and their biochemical components was through analysis of skin and mucous membranes. The identification of desmogleins 1 and 3, desmosomal adhesion glycoproteins, as targets in pemphigus, a fatal autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes, provided the first link between desmosomes, desmogleins, and human diseases. The clinical and ...
متن کاملDiffuse nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma caused by a recurrent nonsense mutation in DSG1.
BACKGROUND Mutations in genes coding for 2 desmosomal proteins, desmoglein 1 and desmoplakin, have been shown to cause autosomal dominant keratoderma palmoplantaris striata. OBSERVATIONS We describe a family affected with a diffuse nonstriated form of palmoplantar keratoderma. Histopathologic examination of skin biopsy specimens disclosed cell-cell disadhesion in the suprabasal layers of the ...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Intragenic Deletion of the PHKD1 Gene in a Patient with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease
Background Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKHD1gene. In the present study, we describe a severe case of ARPKD carrying a point mutation and a novel four-exon deletion of PKHD1 gene. Materials and Methods The PKHD1, PKD1 and PKD2 ...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Mutation in HOXB1 Gene and Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: HOX genes are an exceedingly preserved family of homeodomain-involving transcription factors. They are related to a number of malignancies, comprising acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of HOXB1 7bp deletion mutation on HOXB1gene expression in 36 individuals. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was done on a large Iranian fami...
