LAMC2 Gene Epidermolysis bullosa
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by fragile skin that blisters and forms painful sores from minor trauma or friction. Junctional Epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a rare form of EB caused by mutations in the LAMC2 gene.
The LAMC2 gene encodes a protein called laminin-332 that is essential for the attachment of skin layers. Mutations in this gene can result in the formation of blisters and erosions in the skin, mucous membranes, and other organs.
Symptoms
The symptoms of JEB can vary depending on the severity of the mutations in the LAMC2 gene. Common symptoms include:
- Blisters and erosions in the skin and mucous membranes
- Difficulty swallowing and breathing
- Dental problems
- Scarring
- Increased risk of infection
Diagnosis
JEB can be diagnosed through a combination of clinical examination, family history, and genetic testing. A genetic test can detect mutations in the LAMC2 gene using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology.
NGS Genetic Test cost in India for JEB can range from INR 20,000 to INR 30,000 depending on the laboratory and the specific test performed.
Treatment
There is currently no cure for JEB. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications. This may include:
- Dressings and bandages to protect the skin
- Pain management
- Nutritional support
- Surgery to correct dental or other physical abnormalities
- Preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection
If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of JEB, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider and a genetic counselor to determine the best course of action.
