Abstract

Identifying genes and mutations in the monogenic inherited skin diseases is a challenging task. Discoveries are cherished but often gene-hunting efforts have gone unrewarded because technology has failed to keep pace with investigators enthusiasm and clinical resources. But times are changing. The recent arrival of next-generation sequencing has transformed what can now be achieved.
