Background Severe dermatitis, multiple allergies, and metabolic wasting (SAM) syndrome is
a recently recognized syndrome caused by mutations in the desmoglein 1 gene (DSG1). To
date, only 3 families have been reported. Objective We studied a new case of SAM
syndrome known to have no mutations in DSG1 to detail the clinical, histopathologic,
immunofluorescent, and ultrastructural phenotype and to identify the underlying molecular
mechanisms in this rare genodermatosis. Methods Histopathologic, electron microscopy …
