ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019)

The dominant EBD (DDEB) or generalized dominant EBD (DDEB-gene) is a very rare form of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (EBD) with the main features of generalized blistering, milia , atrophic scars and dystrophy of the nails .

Synonyms are: Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica albopapuloidea; EB dystrophica albopapuloidea Pasini; EB hereditaria dystrophica Pasini; Epidermolysis bullosa, dystrophic, autosomal dominant, Pasini type; Latin Dystrophia cutis spinalis congenita

The previous division into

  • Epidermolysis bullosa, dystrophic, autosomal dominant, Pasini type
  • Epidermolysis bullosa, dystrophic, autosomal dominant, Cockayne-Touraine type

Is no longer in use.

The names refer to the author of the first description from 1928 by the Italian dermatologist Agostino Pasini . and reports from 1933 by the English doctor Edward Alfred Cockayne and from 1942 by the French dermatologist Albert Touraine .

distribution

It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner ; the frequency of this most common form of autosomal dominant EBD is not known.

root cause

Of the disease are mutations in the COL7A1 - gene on chromosome 3 locus p21.31 based encoding which VII for the type of collagen.

Clinical manifestations

Clinical criteria are:

  • Manifestation at birth with blistering of the extremities
  • Healing with scarring
  • Always nail dystrophy , possibly with nail loss
  • ivory-colored papules and plaques (albopapuloid lesions) mostly on the trunk
  • Possibly aplasia cutis congenita on the lower legs
  • Less often blisters in the mucous membrane

diagnosis

The diagnosis results from the clinical examination and is confirmed by immunofluorescence antigen mapping and / or transmission electron microscopy . Prenatal evidence can be provided by human genetic testing .

Differential diagnosis

Other forms of the epidermolysis bullosa group are also to be distinguished

therapy

Treatment is symptomatic.
