EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA HEREDITARIA: A DERMATOLOGIST‘S PERSPECTIVE AND NEWLY TREATMENT APPROACHES
Epidermolysis bullosa is a genetically inherited disorder characterized by extreme skin fragility. Mutations in at least 20 different genes have been identified, leading to structural or functional abnormalities or the absence of proteins involved in the

Epidermolysis Bullosa Classification and Current Approach to Diagnosis
ABSTRACT Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of rare genodermatoses marked by skin fragility and bullae formation induced by minor trauma. Pathologic variants in at least 21 genes are associated with EB, grouped into four major subtypes based predominantly on the plane of cleavage within the skin.

Novel K5 and K14 Mutations in German Patients with the Weber–Cockayne Variant of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex [PDF]
We report novel keratin 5 and 14 gene mutations in four unrelated German families with the localized subtype of the dominantly inherited blistering disease epidermolysis bullosa simplex Weber–Cockayne (MIM# 131800).

In This Issue: The Complexities of Epidermolysis Bullosa “Simplex” [PDF]
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a usually autosomal dominant disorder that results from mutations in the genes that encode keratin 5 (KRT5) and keratin 14 (KRT14). The severity of EBS may range from generalized blistering to localized acral blistering; generalized involvement is often associated with mucosal blistering, particularly involving ...

Identification of a Lethal Form of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Associated with a Homozygous Genetic Mutation in Plectin [PDF]
Genetic mutations in plectin, a cytoskeleton linker protein expressed in a large variety of tissues including skin, muscle, and nerves, cause epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy, a recessive inherited disease characterized by blistering

Update on Approved Therapies for Dystrophic and Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa
ABSTRACT Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) and junctional EB (JEB) are severe, bullous genodermatoses induced by mutations of genes encoding structural skin proteins that disrupt epidermal adhesion. Until recently, treatment was limited to symptomatic care. Since 2022, three therapies – birch triterpenes gel (Filsuvez), beremagene geperpavec‐svdt (

European S2k guidelines on management of autoimmune blistering diseases in children and adolescents
Autoimmune blistering disorders (AIBDs) in children are rare, challenging to diagnose and treat and often require immunosuppressants. Until now, no paediatric care guidelines existed. The EADV Task Force for AIBDs has developed the consensus‐based recommendations, enabling physicians to adopt a uniform, tailored treatment strategy to improve outcomes ...
