Keratin 16 and keratin 17 mutations cause pachyonychia congenita.
Whi McLean,E.L. Rugg,Declan P. Lunny,S.M. Morley,E. B. Lane,O. Swensson,Patricia J.C. Dopping-Hepenstal,W.A.D. Griffiths,Robin A.J. Eady,Caroline Higgins,Harshad Navsaria,Irene M. Leigh,Tom Strachan,L. Kunkeler,Colin S. Munro +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Jadassohn–Lewandowsky PC is caused by a heterozygous missense mutation in the helix initiation peptide of K16 (Leu130Pro), and the known expression patterns of these keratins in epidermal structures correlates with the specific abnormalities observed in each form of PC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel mutations in keratin 16 gene underly focal non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK) in two families
M K Shamsher,Harshad Navsaria,Howard P. Stevens,R. Ratnavel,P.E. Purkis,David P. Kelsell,Whi McLean,L J Cook,W.A.D. Griffiths,S Gschmeissner +9 more
TL;DR: The mutations reported here are the first to describe the molecular pathology of focal non epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Significance of Surface Changes in Parakeratotic Horn
W.A.D. Griffiths,R. Marks +1 more
TL;DR: The villous pattern appeared in scale taken from areas that had developed a high mitotic index and appeared to be related to the proliferative state of the epidermis as well as to the appearance of parakeratosis.
Journal Article
