Preferred Label : Epidermolysis bullosa, junctional 1b, severe;

Symbol : JEB1B;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Epidermolysis bullosa junctionalis, herlitz type; Jeb-herlitz type; Epidermolysis bullosa, junctional, herlitz-pearson type; Herlitz-pearson-type epidermolysis bullosa; Epidermolysis bullosa letalis; Epidermolysis bullosa, junctional, generalized severe; Epidermolysis bullosa, junctional, herlitz type;

Description : Junctional epidermolysis bullosa is an autosomal recessive skin disorder in which blisters occur at the level of the lamina lucida in the skin basement membrane. Fine et al. (2000, 2008) proposed classification of the different types of JEB into 'Herlitz' and 'non-Herlitz' types based on severity; the Herlitz type is more severe and often results in early death. Fine et al. (2000, 2008) also eliminated the term 'hemidesmosomal,' which had previously been proposed for some forms of JEB (Uitto et al., 1997). Pulkkinen and Uitto (1999) reviewed the pathophysiology and phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity of the various forms of epidermolysis bullosa.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the laminin alpha-3 gene (LAMA3, 600805.0001); Caused by mutation in the laminin beta-3 gene (LAMB3, 150310.0001); Caused by mutation in the laminin gamma-2 gene (LAMC2, 150292.0001);

Prefixed ID : #226700;
