The LCE cluster contains multiple conserved genes that encode stratum corneum proteins, and these genes are expressed relatively late during fetal assembly of the skin cornified envelope (Jackson et al., 2005 [PubMed 15854049]). For further information on the LCE gene cluster, see GENE FAMILY below.[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2009] Orthologs all
