Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: General genotype-phenotype correlations have been delineated in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), but these remain complicated and it is still difficult to assess the clinical consequences of individual COL7A1 mutations. OBJECTIVE: To characterize recurrent p.Glu2857X mutations and show how other COL7A1 mutations influence the phenotype in RDEB patients harboring p.Glu2857X. METHODS:...
