Description : Traditionally, EB-PA has been classified as a form of junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Uitto et al. (1997) and Pulkkinen and Uitto (1998) proposed reclassification of the disorder as a 'hemidesmosomal' variant because ultrastructural findings can indicate cleavage in the hemidesmosomal region of the skin. However, in subsequent reports of consensus conferences, Fine et al. (2000, 2008) eliminated the term 'hemidesmosomal' because it added undue confusion. The disorder is considered to be a form of junctional EB because skin cleavage occurs within the lamina lucida. Hemidesmosome may be abnormal because the integrins span this region. In a study involving 265 cases of junctional or hemidesmosomal EB, Varki et al. (2006) reviewed the clinical and molecular heterogeneity of these subtypes of EB, discussed exceptions to the general rules on genotype-phenotype correlations, and noted unusual phenotypes and genetics observed in patients and families with EB.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the integrin-beta-4 gene (ITGB4, 147557.0001); Caused by mutation in the integrin-alpha-6 gene (ITGA6, 147556.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Increased alpha-fetoprotein in the mother during early pregnancy while carrying an affected fetus;

Prefixed ID : #226730;
