Description : Autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a severe skin disorder beginning
at birth and characterized by recurrent blistering at the level of the sublamina densa
beneath the cutaneous basement membrane. This results in mutilating scarring and contractures
of the hands, feet, and joints. Patients also developed strictures of the gastrointestinal
tract from mucosal involvement, which can lead to poor nutrition. Affected individuals
have an increased risk of developing aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (Christiano
et al., 1996; Varki et al., 2007). Allelic disorders include autosomal dominant DEB
(DDEB; 131750), in which the phenotype is less severe, and nonsyndromic congenital
nail disorder-8 (NDNC8; 607523), which has been found to segregate as an autosomal
dominant trait in heterozygous carriers in some families with recessive DEB.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the collagen type VII, alpha-1 gene (COL7A1, 120120.0001);
