Genetic testing is the gold standard for diagnosing different epidermolysis bullosa (EB) subtypes; however, testing rates are low. We conducted a pilot study to test feasibility of a novel, home-based registry that involved patients with EB submitting self-reported clinical symptoms using secure, online surveys (REDCap) and submitting buccal swabs for exome sequencing of EB-related genes (GeneDx). In total, 50 EB participants were enrolled, with an average age of 17 years and an average distance of 198 miles from EB specialty centers. All buccal swabs (N = 24) provided sufficient DNA for sequencing without causing mucosal trauma and 80% of participants were found to have pathogenic variants in COL7A1, the gene mutated in DEB. Participants with recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB) reported a higher prevalence of esophageal dilations (65.7% vs. 0%, p = .009) and mitten deformities of the feet (57.1% vs. 0%, p = .047) compared to non-RDEB participants.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
