Abstract excerpt
In this study we searched for mutations in the type VII collagen gene (COL7A1) in 10 families from Southern Italy with severe generalised recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using PCR amplification of genomic DNA, heteroduplex analysis and direct nucleotide sequencing. Our principal aim was to identify any recurrent mutations in COL7A1 that might facilitate future mutation detection strategies in this...
