Abstract excerpt
Epidermolysis bullosa, a clinically and genetically diverse group of heritable mechanobullous disorders characterized by skin fragility in the cutaneous basement membrane zone, has become a prototype for the recent progress in molecular genetics of genodermatoses. The different forms of epidermolysis bullosa have been linked to mutations in no less than 10 distinct genes encoding the major structural basement...
