Inherited disorders of epidermal keratinization.
There have been a number of major discoveries recently in the field of dermatological science which have enabled us to determine the causes of inherited skin diseases of previously unknown etiology. In this paper we will review some important aspects of the biology of epidermal differentiation and the recent advances in understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying genetic diseases of keratinization.
