Abstract excerpt
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is classified into three main types and is caused, in most cases, by missense mutations in the genes encoding keratin (K) 5 and K14. In this study, we clinically, ultrastructurally, immunohistochemically, and molecularly studied a patient with a dominant EBS, Köbner type. Using sequence analysis of genomic DNA, a novel K14 nonsense mutation was identified. A heterozygous...
