Abstract

The study has identified for the first time an EDARADD splice site mutation causing autosomal recessive HED. Using an ex vivo minigene-based strategy, we detected two aberrant transcripts generated due to activation of distinct alternate 5'-splice sites. The study expands the catalogue of EDARADD mutations causing HED. Since the various forms of HED are clinically indistinguishable, genetic testing is required to facilitate screening, prenatal diagnosis and risk assessment in affected families.
