Description : Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy is an autosomal recessive disorder
characterized by early childhood onset of progressive muscular dystrophy and blistering
skin changes (Fine et al., 1989). Fine et al. (1991) reported a revised classification
of the subtypes of inherited epidermolysis bullosa. In reports of 2 consensus meetings
on EB, Fine et al. (2000, 2008) referred to EB with muscular dystrophy due to PLEC1
mutations as a form of basal simplex EB. Fine et al. (2000, 2008) also eliminated
the term 'hemidesmosomal,' which had previously been proposed for this entity (Uitto
et al., 1997) because ultrastructural analysis can demonstrate tissue abnormalities
of the hemidesmosomes.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the plectin gene (PLEC1, 601282.0001);
