Alternative titles and symbols : Aplasia cutis congenita with gastrointestinal atresia; Junctional epidermolysis bullosa with pyloric atresia; Epidermolysis bullosa, junctional, with pyloric atresia and aplasia cutis congenita; Carmi syndrome; JEB-PA; Epidermolysis bullosa, junctional, with pyloric atresia; EB-PA-ACC; Epidermolysis bullosa junctionalis with pyloric atresia;
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.;
