  • Isolation of the lamin ?2 gene in horses and its use in diagnostic junctional epidermolysis bullosa
    Patent number: 6916618
    Abstract: The laminin ?2 subunit of equine laminin-5 gene has been cloned and the nucleic acid and corresponding protein amino acid sequence is provided. A method of diagnosing junctional epidermolysis bullosa in horses is also provided based on the determination that a mutation in the laminin ?2 gene in which a cytosine is inserted at position 1368 is associated with the disease.
