A common genetic signature has been discovered among three cancer prone rare skin diseases

(Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) A group of researchers lead by a lecturer from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Marcela del R í o, from the CIEMAT, the Rare Diseases Networking Biomedical Research Centre (Initials in Spanish: CIBERER-- ISCIII) and Fundaci ó n Jim é nez D í az has identified a common genetic signature among three rare skin diseases or genodermatoses: recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, Kindler syndrome and xeroderma pigmentosum. In the near future, these findings will allow efficient and safe evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
