Abstract excerpt
COL7A1 gene mutations cause dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a skin blistering disorder. The phenotypes result from defects of collagen VII, the major component of the anchoring fibrils at the dermo-epidermal junction; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenotypes remain elusive.
