Abstract excerpt
In recent years, the molecular basis for the main subtypes of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) has been elucidated with pathogenetic mutations delineated in ten different genes encoding structural components of the dermal-epidermal junction. Both the autosomal dominant and recessive forms of dystrophic EB (DEB) is caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene. Type VII collagen is a major component of anchoring fibrils,...
