Autosomal recessive inheritance of a novel missense mutation of ITGB4 for Epidermolysis-Bullosa pyloric-atresia: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Epidermolysis-Bullosa (EB), a rare Mendelian disorder, exhibits complex phenotypic and locus-heterogeneity. We identified a nuclear family of clinically unaffected parents with two offsprings manifesting EB-Pyloric-Atresia (EB-PA), with a variable clinical severity. We generated whole exome sequence data on all four individuals to (1) identify the causal mutation behind EB-PA (2) understand the background genetic variation for phenotype variability of the siblings. We assumed an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and used suites of bioinformatic and computational tools to collate information through global databases to identify the causal genetic variant for the disease. We also investigated variations in key genes that are likely to impact phenotype severity. We identified a novel missense mutation in the ITGB4 gene (p.Ala1227Asp), for which the parents were heterozygous and the children homozygous. The mutation in ITGB4 gene, predicted to reduce the stability of the primary alpha6beta4-plectin complex compared to all previously studied mutations on ITGB4 reported to cause EB.
