Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEB): Disease Understanding
Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEB) Overview
DEB is the major subtype of epidermolysis bullosa (EB). EB is a group of skin diseases causing skin and mucous membrane fragility. The absence of proteins essential for skin integrity leads to skin fragility. EB is classified into four main types and several clinical subtypes. The main classification relates to the skin layer where blisters formation occurs: EB simplex (EBS; intraepidermal layer), junctional EB (JEB; within the lamina lucida of the basement membrane), dystrophic EB (DEB; below the basement membrane), and Kindler's EB (KEB; mixed skin cleavage pattern).
According to the National Institute of Cancer, DEB is a rare inherited disorder in which blisters form on the skin and the moist inner lining of some organs and body cavities. The blisters usually appear at birth and may occur on certain body parts or all over the body leading to scarring in the affected areas and thinning of the skin. DEB comprises four major and several rare sub-types, with the three most common being intermediate dominant DEB, severe recessive DEB, and intermediate recessive DEB.
The signs and symptoms can vary widely among affected people. In mild cases, blistering may primarily affect the hands, feet, knees, and elbows. Severe cases often involve widespread blistering, leading to vision loss, disfigurement, and other serious medical problems.
As per the National Organization for Rare Disease, some EB occurs in an estimated 1 out of every 50,000 live births. The disorder occurs in every racial and ethnic group worldwide and affects both sexes equally.
It is caused by changes in the COL7A1 gene and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive manner, depending on the subtype.
Currently, no curative therapy is available. The present treatment focuses on managing symptoms and complications associated with DEB. Non-adhesive bandages and dressings to protect the wound, moisturizers for reducing friction and itching, and medication to relieve pain are used. In addition, some patients need nutritional support, supplements, occupational therapy, and/or surgery, depending on the associated features of the disease. Hence there is an urgent unmet medical need to diagnose better, treat, cure and eradicate this devastating disease.
