Inherited epidermolysis bullosa is a diverse group of disorders characterized by mechanically fragile skin that readily blister. The dystrophic forms of epidermolysis bullosa, in which tissue separation occurs in the dermis, are inherited in either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive pattern. In the most severe subtype of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, there is esophageal stenosis and pseudosyndactyly.
