BACKGROUND: Recent success in identifying candidate genes and demonstrating mutations in such genes has set the stage for DNA-based prenatal diagnosis of genodermatoses. An example of such conditions is epidermolysis bullosa in which discrete mutations have been identified in different forms of the disease. The severity of the clinical phenotype in some forms of epidermolysis bullosa appears to justify prenatal...
