Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is an inherited, rare genetic blistering disorder precipitated by mechanical stress.1 Based on level of tissue separation, there are four major classes of EB, namely simplex, junctional, dystrophic and Kindler syndrome.2 Dystrophic EB (DEB) results due to mutation in the type VII collagen, COL7A1.2 EB has an estimated prevalence of 8–10 per million live births where DEB accounts for 2–6 per million live births. Here, COL7A1 is linked to epidermolysis bullosa.
