These findings indicate that the absent expression of LAD-1 is observed in a BPAG2-deficient generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa patient with mutations in both alleles of COL17A1, and not in other epidermolysis bullosa subtypes.

Transfection of GABEB keratinocytes with cDNAs for wild-type or a mutant of BP180 lacking the collagenous extracellular domain resulted in the expression of recombinant BP180 proteins that were correctly polarized at the basal cell surface together with alpha 6 beta 4.

This report documents a novel splice-site mutation in COL17A1 in a patient with generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa, and applies a new methodology to define and characterize the resulting mRNA splice variants.

Immunofluorescence studies showed a markedly reduced expression of the 180-kDa bullous pemphigoid antigen (BP180), and northern analysis of cultured keratinocytes indicated that the gene encoding for BP180 is affected in these GABEB patients.

Thus, these studies demonstrate that: (i) LAD-1 and BP180 are normally expressed in all subtypes of JEB except GABEB, (ii) the majority of GABEB patients show absent or near absent expression of both LAD-1 and BP180 but normal expression of laminin-5, and (iii) a smaller subset of GABEB patients show normal LAD-1 and BP180 expression but express persistent but reduced levels of laminin-5.

The homozygous nonsense mutations in the COL17A1 gene were consistent with the absence of the collagen from the skin and with the GABEB phenotype, whereas homozygosity for the missense mutation resulted in expression of aberrant collagen XVII and, clinically, in localisata JEB.

Highlights of the efforts in the past year include the identification of mutations in an epidermal transglutaminase gene in lamellar ichthyosis as well as mutations in an additional five keratin genes causing four different abnormal phenotypes, and mutations in beta 4 integrin and bullous pemphigoid antigen 2 genes in junctional epidermolysis bullosa and in the p16NK-4a gene in 50% of kindreds with familial melanoma.

The clinical phenotype of junctional epidermolysis bullosa in the proband in this family probably arises due to a combination of the glycine substitution and the internal duplication in COL17A1, whereas the dental abnormalities of her offspring may be the result of the glycine substitution in COL17A1 alone, resulting in this dominantly inherited clinical phenotype.
