Abstract excerpt
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterised by skin fragility, caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding structural components of the dermo-epidermal junction. With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS), the diagnostic paradigm has shifted from a morphological to a genotype-oriented approach. This review summarises the genetic architecture of EB, the...
