We identified a novel homozygous disease-causing variant in TMC8 in a Pakistani family with Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis (EV). The phenotype of EV in the affected individuals was most probably caused by an aberrant splicing process. The molecular genetic findings from our patients expand the mutational spectrum of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
