KRT14 Gene Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Koebner Type NGS Genetic Test

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Koebner type is a rare genetic disorder that affects the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by a mutation in the KRT14 gene that encodes for the keratin 14 protein. This protein is responsible for providing structural support to the skin cells.

People with this condition have fragile skin that is prone to blistering and tearing, especially in areas that are subject to friction or trauma. Blisters can occur on the hands, feet, knees, and elbows, as well as inside the mouth and throat. In severe cases, the blisters can become infected and lead to scarring and deformity.

Symptoms of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Koebner Type

The symptoms of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Koebner type can vary in severity. Mild cases may only experience occasional blistering, while severe cases can have chronic blistering and scarring. Some common symptoms include:

• Blisters on the skin and mucous membranes
• Tearing and peeling of the skin
• Itching and burning sensation
• Thickened or calloused skin
• Nail dystrophy
• Tooth decay and gum disease

Diagnosis of Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Koebner Type

Diagnosing epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Koebner type can be difficult because the symptoms can be similar to other skin conditions. A skin biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Genetic testing can also be done to identify the KRT14 gene mutation that causes the condition.
