Background
collagen type VII alpha 1 chain(COL7A1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes the alpha chain of type VII collagen. The type VII collagen fibril, composed of three identical alpha collagen chains, is restricted to the basement zone beneath stratified squamous epithelia. It functions as an anchoring fibril between the external epithelia and the underlying stroma. Mutations in this gene are associated with all forms of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. In the absence of mutations, however, an acquired form of this disease can result from an autoimmune response made to type VII collagen. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
disease:Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (DEB) [MIM:131750, 226600]. DEB defines a group of blistering skin diseases characterized by tissue separation which occurs below the dermal-epidermal basement membrane at the level of the anchoring fibrils. Inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive. Various clinical types with different severity are recognized, ranging from severe mutilating forms to mild forms with limited and localized scarring, and less frequent extracutaneous manifestations. Mild forms include epidermolysis bullosa mitis and epidermolysis bullosa localisata.,disease:Defects in COL7A1 are the cause of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica Bart type (B-DEB) [MIM:132000]. B-DEB is an autosomal dominant form of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa characterized by congenital localized absence of skin, skin fragility and deformity of nails.,dis
