1 A glycine substitution in the COL7A1 gene causes mild RDEB in a Pakistani family. Glycine collagen type VII alpha 1 chain Homo sapiens
2 Typically, the dominant forms (DDEB) result from glycine substitutions within COL7A1, whereas other glycine mutations are "silent" in the heterozygous state and produce disease only when they are homozygous. Glycine collagen type VII alpha 1 chain Homo sapiens
3 We identified a new glycine substitution within the collagenous region in exon 94 of the COL7A1 gene. Glycine collagen type VII alpha 1 chain Homo sapiens
4 This finding expands the allelic series of COL7A1 mutations underlying mild recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) and sheds further light upon regions of the type VII collagen triple helix that are tolerant of heterozygous glycine substitutions. Glycine collagen type VII alpha 1 chain Homo sapiens
