Abstract excerpt
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a rare clinically heterogeneous genodermatosis due to genetic defects in type VII collagen gene (COL7A1). Identification of COL7A1 mutations is a challenge since this gene comprises 118 exons and more than 300 mutations scattered over the gene have been reported. Here, we describe for the first time the use of denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) for...
