Ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome (EDSFS) is a very rare genodermatosis that develops skin fragility with tearing and blisters and congenital ectodermal dysplasia. Progressive keratosis of the palms and soles is always seen in the patients. This condition is caused by mutations in PKP1, a desmosomal plaque-associated protein.
