Abstract excerpt
Epidermolysis bullosa is a heterogeneous group of heritable blistering skin diseases affecting epidermis and the dermal-epidermal junction zone. Recently, genetic linkage to the type VII collagen gene (Z = 8.77; theta = 0.00) localized on chromosome 3p21 was shown in three Finnish families with the autosomal dominant form of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Two Dutch kindreds with intrafamilial characteristics...
