Abstract excerpt
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (EBD) is a clinically heterogeneous skin disorder, characterized by abnormal anchoring fibrils (AF) and loss of dermal-epidermal adherence. EBD has been linked to the COL7A1 gene at chromosome 3p21 which encodes collagen VII, the major component of the AF. Here we...
