Mutations in ATP2C1, encoding a calcium pump, cause Hailey-Hailey disease

TL;DR: The identification of mutations in ATP2C1, encoding the human homologue of an ATP-powered pump that sequesters calcium into the Golgi in yeast, is reported in 21 HHD kindreds, providing an understanding of the molecular basis of HHD and underscore the importance of calcium control to the functioning of stratified squamous epithelia.
