Open AccessAssociation of HLA class I and II gene polymorphisms with acetaminophen-related Stevens–Johnson syndrome with severe ocular complications in Japanese individuals
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are acute-onset mucocutaneous diseases induced by infectious agents and/or inciting drugs. We have reported that the main causative drugs for...

Open AccessA novel mutation in gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy and functional analysis
We identified a novel mutation of the tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2) gene in a Japanese patient with gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy (GDLD). Genetic analysis revealed a novel homozy...

Open AccessNovel TACSTD2 mutation in gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy
We identified a novel mutation in the tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2) gene in a consanguineous Thai family with gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy (GDLD). All affected family members pr...

Open AccessHLA-A*02:06 and PTGER3 polymorphism exert additive effects in cold medicine-related Stevens–Johnson syndrome with severe ocular complications
We previously reported that PTGER3 (prostaglandin E receptor 3 (subtype EP3)) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) with sever...

Gene expression and immunolocalisation of a calcium-activated chloride channel during the stratification of cultivated and develo** corneal epithelium
The spatial and temporal localisation of a calcium-activated chloride channel (CLCA) and its mRNA was investigated, during the in vivo and in vitro development of stratified epithelia, by fluorescence immunohi...
