Abstract

In 1964, Baird described a family with adermatoglyphia, facial milia, and skin fragility. Using whole exome sequencing, genotyping, and Sanger sequencing, we identified a 116-kb heterozygous deletion involving exons 1-9 of SMARCAD1 in descendants of this kindred. This contrasts with point mutations within exon 9 in all other reported families.

Keywords: fingerprints; genodermatoses; whole exome sequencing.
