  • Methods for diagnosing skin diseases
    Patent number: 9157119
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for diagnosing cornification disorders and metabolic diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to an in vitro method for diagnosing and/or predicting a cornification disorder in a subject, comprising determining the presence or the absence of a genetic variation in the Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 1 (PNPLA1) gene sequence in a biological sample from said subject, as compared with the PNPLA1 gene sequence of a healthy non-carrier subject, wherein the presence of said genetic variation indicates that said subject suffers from or is at risk of suffering from said cornification disorder.
