Abstract excerpt
Revertant mosaicism by somatic reversion of inherited mutations has been described for a number of genetic diseases. Several mechanisms can underlie this reversion process, such as gene conversion, crossing-over, true back mutation, and second-site mutation. Here, we report the occurrence of multiple corrections in two unrelated probands with revertant mosaicism of non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa, an...
