Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Generalized severe epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS-gen sev) is a genetic blistering skin disease in which autosomal dominant mutations in either the keratin KRT5 or KRT14 genes lead to impaired function of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton in the basal epidermis. Here we present an ex vivo RNA trans-splicing-based therapeutic approach to correct the phenotype. OBJECTIVES: To correct a mutation...
