Rare DEGS1 variant significantly alters de novo ceramide synthesis pathway[S]

The de novo ceramide synthesis pathway is essential to human biology and health, but genetic influences remain unexplored. The core function of this pathway is the generation of biologically active ceramide from its precursor, dihydroceramide. Dihydroceramides have diverse, often protective, biologi...
