Abstract excerpt
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is an inheritable blistering disease caused by mutations in COL7A1, which encodes type VII collagen. To address the issue of genotype-phenotype correlations in DEB, analyzing the consequences of COL7A1 mutations using mRNA is indispensable. Herein we established a novel method for testing the effect of mutations in DEB using COL7A1 mRNA extracted from peripheral blood...
