No direct patient consultation provided.

Method: Analysis of the entire coding region: Sequence analysis

Additional Testing Offered: Prenatal diagnosis

Comments: Sequencing of hot spots (ends of the keratin rod domains) for both KRT6b and KRT17 is offered first. If no mutation is found, the entire coding regions of KRT6b and KRT17 can be sequenced.
