Abstract excerpt
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is caused by defects in type-VII collagen (C7), a protein encoded by the COL7A1 gene and essential for anchoring fibril formation at the dermal-epidermal junction. Gene therapy of RDEB is based on transplantation of autologous epidermal grafts generated from gene-corrected keratinocytes sustaining C7 deposition at the dermal-epidermal junction. Transfer of the...
