چکیده

objective(s): epidermolysis bullosa is one of the most important series of mechano-bullous heritable skin disorders which is categorized into four major types according to the layer that bullae forms within basement membrane zone. in dystrophic form of the disease, blisters are made in the sublamina densa zone, at the level of type vii collagen protein which produce anchoring fibrils. type vii collagen gene is the only responsible gene for this form. the aim of this study was to survey causative mutations of type vii collagen gene among iranian patients with epidermolysis bullosa. materials and methods: for this purpose, exons 73-75 were investigated by polymerase chain reaction followed by direct sequencing. results: in current study, we found three different point mutations in type vii collagen alleles in 7 out of 50 patients. four patients were homozygous for a new deletion which resulted in frame shift (p.pro2089fs). two patients were homozygous for a recurrent glycine substitution (p.g2031s) and one patient was detected with an allele carrying a substitution (p.r2069c). conclusion: the results emphasized heterogeneity in the type vii collagen gene and will provide a sign for early diagnosis and future study of the disease pathogenesis.

De Novo Anti-Type VII Collagen Antibodies in Patients With Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa

The two main layers of human skin are held together by structures at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) called anchoring fibrils (AFs). Without properly functioning AFs, the adherence between the epidermis and dermis is compromised. Clinically, this translates into skin fragility and skin bullae. AFs are composed of type VII collagen (C7) that has a central triple helical domain (TH) flanked b...

Use of type VII collagen gene (COL7A1) markers in prenatal diagnosis of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

Generalised recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a severe inherited disease in which patients suffer from blistering and scarring of the skin and mucous membranes after minor mechanical trauma. Tight genetic linkage has been established to the type VII collagen gene (COL7A1) at 3p21, with no evidence of locus heterogeneity. Several COL7A1 mutations have now been identified in rece...

Gentamicin induces functional type VII collagen in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patients.

BACKGROUND Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is an incurable disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding type VII collagen, the major component of anchoring fibrils (AF). We previously demonstrated that gentamicin produced functional type VII collagen in RDEB cells harboring nonsense mutations. Herein, we determined whether topical or intradermal gentamicin administration i...

Genetic linkage of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa to the type VII collagen gene.

Generalized mutilating recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is characterized by extreme skin fragility owing to loss of dermal-epidermal adherence. Immunohistochemical studies have implicated type VII collagen, the major component of anchoring fibrils, in the etiology of RDEB. In this study, we demonstrate genetic linkage of the type VII collagen gene and the generalized mutilating...
