Inherited epidermolysis bullosa is a diverse group of disorders that encompass dozens of clinically and genotypically distinct diseases. It is characterized by mechanically fragile skin that readily blister. The simplex forms of epidermolysis bullosa (EBS) demonstrate blister formation within the basal keratinocytes due to the mutations in the basal keratin genes, KRT5 and KRT14.
