The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by numerous basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts of the jaws, palmar and plantal pits, skeletal abnormalities, and calcification of the falx cerebri. The gene responsible for this syndrome is the PTCH tumor suppressor gene encoding for the sonic hedgehog receptor. In this paper, we report thirteen novel mutations identified in the first screening of NBCCS patients in Italy.

Abstract
The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by numerous basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts of the jaws, palmar and plantal pits, skeletal abnormalities, and calcification of the falx cerebri. The gene responsible for this syndrome is the PTCH tumor suppressor gene encoding for the sonic hedgehog receptor. In this paper, we report thirteen novel mutations identified in the first screening of NBCCS patients in Italy. Except for p.T230P and p.F505_L506delinsLR, all the other mutations are predicted to determine a premature truncation of the protein.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
