-
A basal subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex characterised by generalised severe blistering with widespread congenital absence of skin and pyloric atresia. Prevalence is unknown, but at least 12 families have been reported to date. Onset is at birth and babies are usually born prematurely with a low weight and poor general condition. Most cases are due to mutations in the PLEC gene (8q24) encoding the plectin 1 protein. Transmission is autosomal recessive.
