Introduction: Epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa (EBP) is a rare clinical subtype of inherited dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) caused by type VII collagen mutations. The onset of EBP is variable and may present in late adulthood. The clinical features of EBP include prurigo-like papules, plaques, nodules, or linear configuration on the lower extremities.Here, we reported two sisters with EBP.Case presentation: We identified two Thai sisters with mild to moderate form of EBP, which resulted from a shared glycine substitution (Gly2287Val) in COL7A1 identified by genomic sequencing.Discussion: The histology and molecular findings of both cases supported a diagnosis of dystrophic EBP, however, the clinical manifestations differ between both cases. Conclusion:Molecular testing is the key for the diagnosis of EBP due to nonspecific clinical manifestation and histologic findings, however, there is no clear genotype-phenotype correlation in EBP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
