From OMIMGeneralized 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.
