## Abstract As part of the U.K. National Epidermolysis Bullosa Register, we have systematically recorded clinical information on 130 (77%) of the 168 known Scottish epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) sufferers. Three subtypes of EBS were recognized: DowlingβMeara (EBS-DM), WeberβCockayne (EBS-WC)

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a heritable blistering disorder that can be inherited autosomal dominantly (DDEB) or recessively (RDEB) and covers a group of several distinctive phenotypes. A large number of unique COL7A1 mutations have been shown to underlie DEB. Although general genotype
Absent or defective collagen VII at the dermo-epidermal junction is the hallmark of dystrophic recessive epidermolysis bullosa. Little is known of the alterations of other collagenous and non-collagenous components of the basement membrane; it is likely that their assembly may be disturbed by the la
Collagenase and stromelysin expression in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) was studied at both the protein and the gene expression levels in fibroblast cultures. The amount of enzyme protein in the culture medium, as determined using a specific enzyme assay, showed a 9.7-fold increa
