EB: This is a group of genetically determined disorders of the skin. The type that presents at birth is transmitted by two unaffected parents that carry the gene. Those affected are treated with supportive care, but there is no cure.Most die of complications in the first year.Other forms onset later, are less aggressive & have differing genetic patterns.
