A novel COL7A1 gene mutation in an Iranian individual suffering dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

Abstract excerpt

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a heritable skin disorder with dominant and recessive genetic patterns. Numerous studies underline that both forms are caused by mutations of the COL7A1 gene, which encodes collagen type VII. It has been reported that most mutations detected in the recessive disease form are nonsense mutations or small insertions or deletions leading to frameshift and premature translational...
