Epidermolysis bullosa

Gene: KRT2

Green List (high evidence)

Superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis (SEI), previously known as Ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens.
Clinical findings are similar to those of epidermolytic ichthyosis, but the phenotype is generally milder and can be quite variable in severity.
SEI is clinically characterized by mild epidermal hyperkeratosis over flexural areas, blister formation, and the development of superficially denuded areas of hyperkeratotic skin. Symptoms usually improve with age.
