Light and transmission electron microscopy of generalized dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (Pasini's albopapuloid subtype).
Pasini's albopapuloid epidermolysis bullosa is a very rare subtype of generalized dystrophic dominant epidermolyis bullosa. A 30 year-old white female patient presented since her childhood disseminated small blisters and papules. Light microscopy of a blister showed dermal-epidermal cleavage; moreover, focal areas of dermal-epidermal splitting were also observed. Transmission electron microscop...
متن کاملPretibial dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa*
Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of mechano-bullous genetic disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding structural proteins of the skin. Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene encoding collagen VII, the main constituent of anchoring fibrils. In this group, there are autosomal dominant and recessive inheritances. The pre-tibial form is characterized by...
متن کاملJunctional and Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a congenital genodermatosis, which affects mainly skin and occasionally other organs [1]. Lifelong blistering and erosion of the skin and mucous membrane, caused by mechanical trauma, threaten EB patients [1]. The most common cause of death is metastasizing squamous cell carcinoma [2]. EB is subdivided into mainly three categories by the location of tissue separati...
متن کاملDystrophic epidermolysis bullosa: a review
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a rare inherited blistering disorder caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene encoding type VII collagen. The deficiency and/or dysfunction of type VII collagen leads to subepidermal blistering immediately below the lamina densa, resulting in mucocutaneous fragility and disease complications such as intractable ulcers, extensive scarring, malnutrition, and mali...
متن کاملClinical variability in dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and findings with scanning electron microscopy.
In dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, the genetic defect of anchoring fibrils leads to cleavage beneath the basement membrane and its consequent loss. A 46 year-old female patient presented blisters with a pretibial distribution associated with nail dystrophy. Her two children had hyponychia and anonychia, which affected all toe nails and the thumb, forefinger and middle finger. DNA sequencing i...
