Research Abstract |
I have investigated pathomechanisms of dyschromatosis symmetricahereditaria (DSH). I have collected 43 samples of patients with DSH including a Turkishpatient and genetically diagnosed them. The results have been reported. And Iestablished the ADAR1-knockdown melanoma cells, which are model cells for DSH. Then,using the knockdown cells I found some interesting data showing association betweenvirus infection and DSH.
