Research Abstract |
Because most cases of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa are caused by compound heterozygous COL7A1 mutations, it is usually difficult to assess the clinical phenotype and function of each mutant type VII collagen derived from different mutations. To clarify this question, genotype-phenotype correlation was analyzed in patients specifically having common COL7A1 mutations on one allele, which is known to lead to complete loss of type VII collagen expression through a premature termination codon.
