Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the genetic etiology of a family affected by junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) and generalized enamel hypoplasia, and to explore how an intronic variant influenced the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), thereby affecting LAMB3 expression and contributing to the pathogenesis of the disease. DESIGN: Whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing were used to screen for genetic...
