Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a form of EB that causes blisters at the site of rubbing. It typically affects the hands and feet, and is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, affecting the keratin genes KRT5 and KRT14 .
The inherited disease, dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, is caused by recessive or dominant mutations in COL7A1. [17] Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, the most severe type of epidermolysis bullosa, has two subtypes, generalized intermediate and generalized severe, which have been linked to different mutations in the COL7A1 gene.
