Previously Unreported COL7A1 Mutation in a Somali Patient with Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) encompasses a group of inheritable skin disorders characterized by various degrees of epithelial fragility that lead to cutaneous and mucosal blistering following negligible mechanical traumas. These disorders are clinically and genetically heterogeneous, ranging from mild skin involvement to severe disabling conditions with associated manifestations affecting the gastrointestinal and vesico-urinary tracts. EB may be classified into 4 main categories: simplex, junctional, dystrophic, and Kindler syndrome. Clinically, EB may present as syndromic or nonsyndromic forms. EB subtypes have mainly reported a number of mutations in the candidate COL7A1 gene encoding type VII collagen, a major stabilizing molecule of the dermoepidermal junction. Herein, we report a Somali girl with dystrophic EB who showed a previously unreported missense variant c.6797G>T in exon 86 in COL7A1.
