Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the type VII collagen gene (COL7A1) have been shown to underlie dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB). The dominantly inherited forms of DEB have been divided into two clinical subcategories, the Pasini (DDEB-P) and the Cockayne-Touraine (DDEB-CT) variants, on the basis of the presence or absence of albopapuloid lesions. In this study, we have examined the molecular basis of DDEB in two Japanese...
