Abstract excerpt
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a genotypically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by cutaneous blistering and erosions with a tremendous spectrum of severity. One of the distinct forms of EB, Kindler EB (KEB), manifests with blistering and poikiloderma; this subtype of EB is caused by mutations in the FERMT1 gene encoding kindlin-1. In this study, we investigated a patient clinically diagnosed as KEB...
