Abstract

In this manuscript we are presenting the first National Epidermolysis Bullosa Epidemiology study done in South America. Our manuscript describes not only population-level estimates, such as incidence, prevalence and mortality of EB, but also genetic data that are unique to this underrepresented population. We report new data about this rare disease showing comparable life expectancy to wealthier nations, demonstrating the value of specialized EB care centres.
