PurposeTo report identification of a COL17A1 mutation in a family with a corneal dystrophy previously mapped to chromosome 10q23-q24.MethodsWhole-exome sequencing was performed on DNA samples from five affected family members and two unrelated ...

Human eosinophils express the high affinity IgE receptor, FcεRI, in bullous pemphigoid.
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease mediated by autoantibodies targeting BP180 (type XVII collagen). Patient sera and tissues typically have IgG and IgE autoantibodies and elevated eosinophil numbers. Although the pathogenicity of

Type XVII collagen (BP 180) in the developing avian cornea.
Previous sequence analyses of hemidesmosomal BP 180/collagen XVII cDNA from human skin and of a similar chicken corneal cDNA showed some similarities, but major differences as well. The authors examined whether, in one species, the same mRNA is present in cornea and skin. They also studied the developmental expression of the molecule and compared it to

Polymorphisms in the Mitochondrial Genome Are Associated With Bullous Pemphigoid in Germans
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most prevalent autoimmune skin blistering disease and is characterized by the generation of autoantibodies against the hemidesmosomal proteins BP180 (type XVII collagen) and BP230.
