Abstract excerpt
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare mechanobullous disease caused by dominant-negative mutations in either keratin 5 (KRT5) or keratin 14 (KRT14) genes. Until now, there is no cure for EBS and the care is primarily palliative. The discovery of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas9 system raised hope for the treatment of EBS and many other autosomal dominant diseases...
