Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa (Non-Herlitz Type).
Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a recessively inherited skin blistering disease and is caused due to abnormalities in proteins that hold layers of the skin. Herlitz JEB is the severe form and non-Herlitz JEB is the milder form. This report describes a case of congenitally affected male child aged 5 years, with skin blistering. He has mitten-like hands and soft skin blistering on hands...

Previous studies have correlated the Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa (H-JEB) to an altered expression of the basement membrane component nicein/kalinin. This heterotrimeric glycoprotein appears to be present in H-JEB tissues in an abnormal form, because a number of antibodies specific to the protein either do not react with or weakly stain the epidermal basement membranes of most of th...
متن کاملAnalysis of the COL17A1 in non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa and amelogenesis imperfecta.
Non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa (nH-JEB) disease manifests with skin blistering, atrophy and tooth enamel hypoplasia. The majority of patients with nH-JEB harbor mutations in COL17A1, the gene encoding type XVII collagen. Heterozygotes with a single COL17A1 mutation, nH-JEB defect carriers, may exhibit only enamel hypoplasia. In this study, to further elucidate COL17A1 mutation phe...
متن کاملEpidemiology of epidermolysis bullosa in the antipodes: the Australasian Epidermolysis Bullosa Registry with a focus on Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa.
OBJECTIVE To present epidemiologic and clinical data from the Australasian Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) Registry, the first orphan disease registry in Australia. DESIGN Observational study (cross-sectional and longitudinal). SETTING Australian private dermatology practice, inpatient ward, and outpatient clinic. PATIENTS Systematic case finding of patients with EB simplex, junctional EB (JEB...
متن کاملJunctional epidermolysis bullosa.
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) encompasses a heterogeneous group of genodermatoses, characterized by fragility and blistering of the skin, often associated with extracutaneous manifestations. The level of vesiculation within the skin defines 3 major subtypes of EB: EB simplex, junctional EB, and dystrophic EB. We present the case of a male neonate of 36 weeks of gestation, who was born with a few b...
