Progress in heritable skin diseases: translational implications of mutation analysis and prospects of molecular therapies*.

Abstract excerpt

Epidermolysis bullosa, a group of blistering disorders, serves as the paradigm of the tremendous progress made in understanding the molecular genetics of heritable skin diseases. Mutations in 10 distinct genes have been disclosed in the classic forms of epidermolysis bullosa, and the level of expression of the mutated genes within the cutaneous basement membrane zone, the types and combinations of mutations and...
