EPIDERMOLYSE BULLEUSE DYSTROPHIQUE RECESSIVE [2 records]

Record 1 2025-01-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Epidermis and Dermis
OBS

RDEB is an autosomal recessive inherited condition. This means both parents are carriers, yet they are unaffected. When each parent has a copy of the altered gene, there is a 1 in 4 chance or 25% that the child will be affected.

OBS

Although in some cases this form of EB [epidermolysis bullosa] can be mild with generalized blistering, typically the recessive forms of EB tend to be more severe. Onset is usually at birth with areas of missing skin. Generalized blistering then scarring can occur on skin surfaces and mucous membranes. Scarring may limit range of motion of extremities. Fusion of fingers and toes and contractures cause deformity and loss of function.

  • Épiderme et derme
CONT

L’EB [épidermolyse bulleuse] dystrophique est causée par des mutations dominantes ou récessives du gène COL7A1 qui code pour le collagène de type VII [...] Les mutations pathologiques conduisent à la production d’un collagène de type VII non fonctionnel ou à son absence. En conséquence, les fibrilles d’ancrage de la jonction dermo-épidermique ne sont pas assemblées correctement ou ne sont pas formées, ce qui réduit l’adhérence entre le derme et l’épiderme et provoque des plaies. Les patients atteints d’EBDR souffrent donc de ces plaies pendant toute leur vie [...]

Record 2 2024-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Epidermis and Dermis
OBS

DDEB is an autosomal dominant condition. One parent of an affected person will usually also have the condition.

OBS

There is usually generalized blistering noted at birth. Blistering may be generalized or appear only on the hands, feet, elbows or knees: this is usually due to mechanical trauma. Rarely does scarring cause immobility and deformity of the hands and feet. Small cysts or milia are seen at sites of scarring. There may be mild involvement of the mucous membranes, nails may be thick, dystrophic or destroyed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines diverses
  • Épiderme et derme
CONT

L'EBD [épidermolyse bulleuse dystrophique] comprend deux sous-types, soit les formes dominantes(EBDD) et récessives(EBDR [épidermolyse bulleuse dystrophique récessive]), qui diffèrent par leur mode de transmission.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Enfermedades humanas varias
  • Epidermis y dermis
CONT

Las formas más localizadas, como la epidermólisis bullosa distrófica dominante pretibial y la pruriginosa, no presentan complicaciones específicas, salvo en el caso de la segunda, las derivadas del rascado.
