Abstract

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex migratory circinate erythema (EBS-Migr) is an uncommon subtype of EBS. We report a case of EBS-MIGR with a novel heterozygous pathogenic mutation in exon 9 (frameshift deletion c.1650delC) and likely benign heterozygous mutation in exon 2 (missense c.591C > A) of keratin 5. This novel pathogenic mutation in KRT5 expands the molecular spectrum of this rare subtype of EBS.
