Abstrakt: Kindler epidermolysis bullosa is a genodermatosis that manifests with cutaneous and mucosal fragility, and with photosensitivity. No cure is available to date. Kindlin-1, the deficient protein binds to β intergrin and is required for its activation. Using a previously established experimental workflow we addressed the consequences of three naturally occurring mutations leading either to single amino acid substitutions, p.Y293D and p.W559R, or to a single amino acid deletion p.I623del in kindlin-1.
