Popis: We report the clinical and molecular findings in a patient with a mild form of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and aortic insufficiency. To our knowledge, this is the first report of association between dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and abnormalities of the aortic valve. Analysis of the COL7A1 gene has revealed two new mutations, a 20-bp duplication and a splice site mutation.
