Mutational burden in human hair follicles

ABSTRACT: We would like to dissect human hair follicles and assess the mutations found in diffferent parts of the follicle eg bulge, root etc. We can also compare this with mutations found in the surrounding epidermis of the same patients (this is done under a different study). This may provide insights into the origin of PTCH1 mutants frequently seen in basal cell carcinoma but so far not located in our whole epidermis work as well as defining the clonality of the hair follicle
