Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasia-skin fragility syndrome (EDSFS) is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by skin fragility, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, onichodystrophy, perioral fissuring and noncicatricial alopecia. It is caused by plakophilin-1 (PKP1) deficiency, which results in desmosomal abnormality and poor intercellular cohesion between the epidermal cells. We report a case with a novel PKP1 mutation in intron 6.
