Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Dowling-meara Type; Ebsdm
Description
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous skin disorder characterized by recurrent blistering of the skin following minor physical trauma as a result of cytolysis within basal epidermal cells. Most forms show autosomal dominant inheritance. The Dowling-Meara type of EBS is the most severe form, with generalized blistering that often occurs in clusters (herpetiform), is often associated with hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles, and shows clumping of keratin filaments in basal epidermal cells. The other 2 main types of EBS include the milder generalized Koebner type (OMIM ) and the milder and localized Weber-Cockayne type (OMIM ) (Fine et al., 2008). All 3 forms can be caused by mutation in the KRT5 or the KRT14 gene. See {601001} for a rare autosomal recessive form caused by mutation in the KRT14 gene.
