Abstract excerpt
We describe two familial cases of dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DDEB) that are heterozygous for deletions in COL7A1 that alter splicing, despite intact consensus splice-site sequences. One patient shows a 28-bp genomic deletion (6081del28) in exon 73 associated with the activation of...
