Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare diseases that cause fragile, blistering skin. The condition can vary from mild to severe, and it typically manifests shortly after birth. Among the genetic variants responsible for this condition, mutations in the EXPH5 gene have been identified to cause a specific form of epidermolysis bullosa, known as […]
Understanding KRT1 Gene Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, also known as bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, is a rare genetic skin disorder. It is characterized by blistering and a marked thickening of the skin on the palms and soles, along with generalized skin fragility. This condition is primarily caused by mutations in the KRT1 gene, which plays […]
Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK), also known as bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by blistering and thickening of the skin. This condition is caused by mutations in the KRT10 gene, which plays a crucial role in the structure and function of the keratin in the skin. Understanding the symptoms of this […]
Epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK) is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by thickening of the skin on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. This condition is primarily caused by mutations in the KRT9 gene, which plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the skin’s structure. Understanding the […]
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) represents a group of rare genetic conditions that result in easy blistering of the skin and mucous membranes in response to minor injury or friction. Among the various types of EBS, the autosomal recessive type 2, linked with mutations in the DST gene, stands out due to its unique genetic inheritance […]
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a group of genetic conditions that cause the skin to be very fragile and to blister easily. Among its various types, the Dowling-Meara type, also known as EBS Dowling-Meara, is considered one of the more severe forms. This condition is primarily caused by mutations in the KRT14 gene, which provides […]
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) Koebner type is a genetic condition characterized by the fragility of the skin that results in blistering and erosions from minor mechanical trauma. This condition is specifically associated with mutations in the KRT14 gene, which encodes for keratin 14, a protein essential for the structural integrity of the skin. Understanding the […]
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the connective tissues in the body, which provide strength and elasticity to the skin, joints, and blood vessels. Among the various types of EDS, one rare form is associated with mutations in the FKBP14 gene. This specific subtype is characterized by progressive kyphoscoliosis, myopathy, […]
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a group of genetic skin disorders that cause the skin to become very fragile and to blister easily. Among its subtypes, the Ogna type, caused by mutations in the PLEC gene, is a particularly rare form. Understanding the symptoms and undergoing genetic testing can be crucial for individuals who suspect […]
— Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of disorders that affect the connective tissues supporting the skin, bones, blood vessels, and many other organs and tissues. Among its various types, the Musculocontractural Type 1, caused by mutations in the CHST14 gene, stands out due to its distinctive clinical manifestations. Understanding the symptoms associated with this […]
