About Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
What is DEB?
DEB is a serious genetic blistering disease caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene and can be either dominant (DDEB) or recessive (RDEB) based on inheritance pattern. Both DDEB and RDEB can present with similar dermatologic signs and symptoms and can range in severity, and both have the potential for serious complications.
Testing for DEB
Decode DEB is a no-charge genetic testing program for individuals who are suspected to have epidermolysis bullosa in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. No-charge family variant testing is also available for blood relatives of patients diagnosed with pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in COL7A1.
