Epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Koebner type(EBS1B)

MedGen UID:
1794134
Concept ID:
C5561924
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: EBS 2; Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Other Generalized; Generalized EBS
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
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.

Disease characteristics

Excerpted from the GeneReview: Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is characterized by fragility of the skin (and mucosal epithelia in some instances) that results in non-scarring blisters and erosions caused by minor mechanical trauma. EBS is distinguished from other types of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) or non-EB skin fragility syndromes by the location of the blistering in relation to the dermal-epidermal junction. In EBS, blistering occurs within basal keratinocytes. The severity of blistering ranges from limited to hands and feet to widespread involvement. Additional features can include hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles (keratoderma), nail dystrophy, milia, and hyper- and/or hypopigmentation. Rare EBS subtypes have been associated with additional clinical features including pyloric atresia, muscular dystrophy, cardiomyopathy, and/or nephropathy. [from GeneReviews]

Additional description

From OMIM
Generalized intermediate epidermolysis bullosa simplex-1B (EBS1B) is an autosomal dominant disorder of skin in which intraepidermal blistering occurs after minor mechanical trauma. Skin blistering is generalized, begins at birth, and is worsened by heat, humidity, and sweating. The tendency to blistering diminishes in adolescence, when it may become localized to hands and feet. Intermediate EBS has previously been known as the Koebner type (summary by Has et al., 2020). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of the subtypes of EBS, see EBS1A (131760). Reviews Fine et al. (1991) provided a revised classification of the subtypes of inherited epidermolysis bullosa based on clinical and laboratory criteria. Fine et al. (2008) reviewed phenotypic features and molecular bases of all epidermolysis bullosa subtypes, and recommended revisions in the classification system. Has et al. (2020) reviewed characteristic features and molecular bases of the subtypes of epidermolysis bullosa, and provided a consensus reclassification of disorders with skin fragility.  http://www.omim.org/entry/131900
