Abstract

A 14-year-old Iranian boy with congenital cutis laxa and several other typical autosomal recessive type II features was examined. Mutation analysis of the pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1 gene revealed a single-base deletion (c.345delC) in exon 4 leading to frame shift and premature termination of translation. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
