Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica - what does this mean
Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (ebd) is a rare genetic disorder in which the skin is extremely fragile and prone to blistering. it is caused by a mutation in the genes that are responsible for the production of proteins that help hold the skin together. these mutations result in an inability of the skin to withstand even minor trauma, leading to the formation of blisters and skin lesions.
What happens during the disease - epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica
Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the protein type vii collagen (col7a1). this protein is responsible for anchoring the epidermis to the dermis, and when it is mutated, the epidermis is no longer firmly attached to the dermis. this leads to the formation of blisters and erosions in the skin and mucous membranes, which can cause severe pain and scarring. in addition, the disorder can also cause nail dystrophy, alopecia, and other systemic complications.
