Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a dominantly inherited genodermatosis characterized by intraepidermal blister formation. Recent reports have suggested that EBS mutations may relate to keratin abnormalities. In this study, we conducted RFLP analyses to test the hypothesis that EBS is linked to one of the keratin gene clusters on chromosome 12 or chromosome 17. Although these keratin gene loci are not...
