TGFβ-signaling in Squamous Cell Carcinoma Occurring in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa

2011-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background : Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a hereditary skin disorder characterized by mechanical fragility of the skin, resulting in blistering and chronic wounds. The causative mutations lie in the COL7A1 gene. Patients suffering from RDEB have a high risk to develop aggressive, rapidly metastasizing squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Cutaneous RDEB SCCs develop preferentially in long-term s...
