Abstract: Objective: To identify the gene mutation of AP1S3 (encoding the s1C subunit of the AP-1 complex) in 107 cases with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) in Chinese Han populations. Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood. All the exons of AP1S3 were amplified by PCR. Sanger sequencing was performed to screen the mutations in AP1S3. Results: No mutation and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in AP1S3 were detected in all GPP individuals. Conclusion: The mutation in AP1S3 gene is not associated with GPP in this group of patients.

Key words: generalized pustular psoriasis, AP1S3, gene mutation
