Dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, generalised – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1235671891

Generalised dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa manifests as trauma-induced blistering and scarring most prominently over bony prominences, especially the dorsa of the hands, the knees, ankles and feet. It is due to an absence of type VII collagen as the result of mutations in the COL7A1 gene.
