oops i guess it didn't post sorry! here it goes:
23 yo female has skin blistering that results from a point mutation in a single gene. epidermal cells in these patients become fragile and rupture. whic hof the following is the most likely of the genetic mutation?
a - defctive transport of vesicles from the centrosome to the cell membrane
b - disrupted assembly of keratin into intermediate filaments
c - lack of GTP required to form polymers of tubulin
d - phosphorylation of actin monomers to promote polymerization
thanks!

Its in my histology textbook.
Her case is a late manifestation. Usually the symptom is seen shortly after birth. But then again you cannot be sure without gene testing.
