Abstract excerpt
Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa is a heritable bullous disease caused by mutations found primarily in the b3 chain of laminin 5 (LAMB3). In this study, we examined the LAMB3 gene for mutations in 22 Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa families, and identified 15 distinct mutations, eight of them previously unreported, bringing the total number of distinct Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa...
