[0114] Cellular reprogramming of autologous cells as a treatment for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB).
[0115] Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe blistering skin disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in COL7A1, the gene encoding collagen type VII (C7). C7 is a major component of anchoring fibrils (AF), which stabilize the basement membrane zone (BMZ) of the epidermis to the dermis. C7 performs this function by using multiple domains including the amino-terminal non-collagen NC1 domain that binds BMZ ligands, the central collagen domain that assembles into a triple helix, and the NC2 domain that catalyzes the assembly of C7 into AF . Loss of these functional C7 domains in RDEB results in severe BMZ segregation. This produces extensive and painful blistering, erosion, and scarring, which in turn leads to the aggressive and often fatal form of SCC that occurs in the second and third decades. Despite advances in molecular diag...
