Anhui Medical University Scientists Discover Mutations Associated With Skin Disorder (DSAP)

A Chinese research team, led by Anhui Medical University and BGI, has found strong genetic evidence of a link between mutations of the mevalonate kinase gene (MVK) and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP). It is a major step toward discovering the genetic pathogenesis of DSAP, and sheds light on its further molecular diagnosis and treatment. The latest study was published online in Nature Genetics.
