Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) and junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) are severe blistering skin disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding type VII collagen (COL7A1) and laminin 332 (LAMA3, LAMB3, or LAMC2), respectively. This evidence concerns the gene LAMA3 and junctional epidermolysis bullosa.
