Abstract
Abstract
Background
Epidermolysis bullosa with pyloric atresia (EB-PA), also known as Carmi syndrome, is an uncommon, autosomal recessive genodermatosis that typically affects the skin and gastrointestinal tract. EB-PA is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the integrin alpha 6 (ITGA6) gene on chromosome 2q31.1 or in the integrin beta 4 (ITGB4) gene on 17q25.1.
Case presentation
A male premature infant was born with aplasia cutis, atresia of the pylorus, and bilateral hydronephrosis. His clinical and imaging findings were compatible with EB-PA. A novel, small deletion of the last two bases in exon 6 and the first two nucleotides of intron 6 (c.565_566+2del) in ITGB4 gene was identified.
Conclusion
EB-PA-aplasia cutis congenita is known to be a non-treatable condition with a poor prognosis as the reported case. The novel mutation reported in this patient may lead to the lethal form of this disease. Identification of underlying genetic abnormality is critical to give genetic counseling.
