Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A lack or dysfunction of the anchoring protein laminin-332 in the basement membrane leads to the skin blistering disorder junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB). The mutation c.628G>A in the gene LAMB3 encoding the laminin β3-chain is associated with generalized intermediate JEB; it may introduce an amino acid substitution (p.Glu210Lys) or disrupt splicing. OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study aimed at...
