We examined keratin K14 and K5 genes mutation in a Japanese Dowling-Meara epidermolysis bullosa simplex patient with severe generalized blistering and erosions at birth. The patient had a C to T transition at the first position of codon 174 in the keratin K5 gene, which resulted in a Leu->Phe substitution at the highly conserved 1A domain in keratin K5. Thus, our results revealed a novel mutation in the helix initiation peptide of keratin K5.
我们检测了一名患有严重全身性水疱和出生时糜烂的日本Dowling-Meara单纯性大疱性表皮松解症患者的角蛋白K14和K5基因突变。该患者角蛋白K5基因第174密码子第一位发生了C到T的转换，导致角蛋白K5高度保守的1A结构域出现Leu->Phe替代。因此，我们的结果揭示了角蛋白K5螺旋起始肽中的一个新突变。
