A novel \(\it ECM1\) splice site mutation in lipoid proteinosis
- Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis known to be caused by mutations in \(\it ECM1\). Nonsense and missense mutations are the most common variations in LP. Up to date, only 6 splice site mutations have been observed. We report on a 26-year-old female LP patient from a Turkish consanguineous family carrying a novel homozygous splice site mutation in intron 8 of the \(\it ECM1\) gene and summarize the current knowledge on \(\it ECM1\) mutations and possible genotype-phenotype correlations.
