Abstract

BACKGROUND: Several new genes and clinical subtypes have been identified since the publication in 2014 of the report of the last International Consensus Meeting on Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). OBJECTIVES: We sought to reclassify disorders with skin fragility, with a focus on EB, based on new clinical and molecular data. METHODS: This was a consensus expert review. RESULTS: In this latest consensus report, we introduce the concept of genetic disorders with skin fragility, of which classical EB represents the prototype. Other disorders with skin fragility, where blisters are a minor part of the clinical picture or are not seen because skin cleavage is very superficial, are classified as separate categories. These include peeling skin disorders, erosive disorders, hyperkeratotic disorders, and connective tissue disorders with skin fragility. Because of the common manifestation of skin fragility, these 'EB-related' disorders should be considered under the EB umbrella in terms of medical and socioeconomic provision of care. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed classification scheme should be of value both to clinicians and researchers, emphasizing both clinical and genetic features of EB. What is already known about this topic? Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic disorders with skin blistering. The last updated recommendations on diagnosis and classification were published in 2014. What does this study add? We introduce the concept of genetic disorders with skin fragility, of which classical EB represents the prototype. Clinical and genetic aspects, genotype-phenotype correlations, disease-modifying factors and natural history of EB are reviewed. Other disorders with skin fragility, e.g. peeling skin disorders, erosive disorders, hyperkeratotic disorders, and connective tissue disorders with skin fragility are classified as separate categories; these 'EB-related' disorders should be considered under the EB umbrella in terms of medical and socioeconomic provision of care.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
