Identification of mutations in the COL7A1 gene in a proband with mild recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and aortic insufficiency.
We report the clinical and molecular findings in a patient with a mild form of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and aortic insufficiency. To our knowledge, this is the first report of association between dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and abnormalities of the aortic valve. Analysis of the COL7A1 gene has revealed two new mutations, a 20-bp duplication and a splice site mutation.
متن کاملBone marrow transplantation for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
BACKGROUND Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is an incurable, often fatal mucocutaneous blistering disease caused by mutations in COL7A1, the gene encoding type VII collagen (C7). On the basis of preclinical data showing biochemical correction and prolonged survival in col7 −/− mice, we hypothesized that allogeneic marrow contains stem cells capable of ameliorating the manifestations o...
متن کاملPretibial Epidermolysis Bullosa: Report of two cases
Pretibial epidermolysis bullosa is a rare variant of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa characterized by the delayed onset of lesions and their localization. We present two cases, a 35-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man. They clinically had pruritus, nodular prurigo-like or lichenified lesions, violaceous scarring, milia, nail dystrophy and in one case albopapuloid lesions on the trunk. Physica...
متن کاملTwelve hour anaesthesia in a patient with epidermolysis bullosa.
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), an inherited disorder presents clinically with recurrent cutaneous blister formation with possible involvement of mucous membranes and other organs. The sequelae of this disease pose multiple challenges to the anaesthetist and operating room team. Recent literature describes several anaesthetic techniques for the short surgical procedures this patient population may ...
متن کاملEnhanced biosynthesis of human skin collagenase in fibroblast cultures from recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
Using a sensitive, specific immunoprecipitation method, the biosynthesis of human skin collagenase was studied in fibroblast cultures from patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of solubilized immunoprecipitates showed two 3H-labeled procollagenase species that comigrated with those harvested from control cultures. Rec...
