## Communicated by Mark H. Paalman We have previously reported that loss-of-function mutations in the cathepsin C gene (CTSC) result in Papillon-Lefe `vre syndrome, an autosomal recessive condition characterized by palmoplantar keratosis and early-onset, severe periodontitis. Others have also repo

Papillon Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe periodontitis. The disease is caused by mutations in the cathepsin C gene (CTSC) that maps to chromosome 11q14. CTSC gene mutations associated with PLS have been correlated with
Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive form of palmoplantar ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and severe earlyonset periodontitis. The presence of severe periodontitis distinguishes PLS from other palmoplantar keratodermas. As part of our efforts t
Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that involves severe periodontitis and hyperkeratosis of the hand palms and foot soles. Recently it was found that PLS patients carry loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding cathepsin C (CTSC). In the present study we have
