Localized dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

MedGen UID:
634276
•Concept ID:
C0474885
•
Congenital Abnormality
Synonyms: localised DEB; localized DEB; Localized DEB; localized dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa
SNOMED CT: Localized dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (254186008)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
•Concept ID:
C0441748
•
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:

•Concept ID:
C0443147
•
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

A localized form of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa characterized by blisters confined primarily to the hands and feet (acral form) or to the pretibial region (pretibial form). Nail dystrophy or loss is common and may be an isolated finding (nail only form). [from ORDO]
