Patients suffering from collagen VI related myopathies caused by mutations in COL6A1, COL6A2, and COL6A3 often also display skin abnormalities, like formation of keloids or “cigarette paper” scars, dry skin, striae rubrae, and keratosis pilaris (follicular keratosis) (38). Here, COL6A1 is linked to ulerythema ophryogenesis.
