Objective:
To study a Chinese pedigree with Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) and examine the ATP2C1 gene mutation in this family.
Method:
All exons of ATP2C1 gene were analyzed with polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing in all patients of this family and 100 unrelated population-match controls.
Results:
We identified a novel heterozygous nucleotide A --> G transition at position 235 - 2 in intron 3 of ATP2C1 gene. This splice site mutation was not found in the healthy members of this pedigree and in the controls.
Conclusion:
The splicing mutation can affect the result of transcription and translation, and it is a specific novel mutation of ATP2C1 gene.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
