The clinical spectrum of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

Summary Background  Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a genodermatosis resulting from mutations in COL7A1, the gene encoding type VII collagen. The site and specific nature of the underlying mutation determine the clinical phenotype, which ranges widely from a severe mutilating condition to a relatively mild disorder.
