And was stopped by border control for she had no fingerprints, they were baffled so they contacted Peter Itan and Eli Spencer (of Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine and the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center) to do research on why she had none, they came up empty handed on the gene responsible. In 2011 a grad student found the gene responsible SMARCAD1.
SMARCAD1 gene's normal function is to provide instructions for make two versions of the SMARCAD1 protein: a full-length isoform that's job is to maintain the stability of cell's genetic information, and a skin-specific isoform. SMARCAD1 gene is located in (long Arm) at (chromosome) 4 (region) 2 (band) 2. (sub-band) 3, or
