A Mechanistic Map of the Phenotypic Complexity in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Provides Basis for Therapeutic Target Discovery and Drug Repurposing
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a genodermatosis caused by loss-of-function mutations in the COL7A1 gene, producing a complex and heterogeneous phenotype. Clinical manifestations include skin fragility, local and systemic inflammation, impaired wound healing, dysbiosis, pain, and pruritus, increasi...
