[ 1 ] - A CDH3 Mutation is Segregated in an Iranian Family with Congenital Hypotrichosis and Juvenile Macular Dystrophy

Backgrounds Hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy (HJMD) is a rare genetic disorder caused from mutations in the Cadherin 3 (CDH3) gene. Results In the present study, we reported an Iranian family with three affected members born to a consanguineous parent. Mutational analysis using whole exome sequencing has revealed a nucleotide change in CDH3 gene (NM_001793:exon8:c.830delG) which l...
