The so-called Kindler syndrome is character-ed cleavage planes through the skin (Fine et al., 2008a)., a precise diagnosis of the type of EB is based on biop-ctron microscopic analysis and immunouorescenceapping (Pohla-Gubo et al., 2010; Eady and Dopping-2010). Furthermore, through sequence analysis thetation responsible for the disease can be determined,portant for conrmation of the diagnosis (Castiglia and2010). The overall world-wide EB prevalence data sug-ere is no gender, racial, or geographical predispositionar et al., 2011). In the United States of America (USA), thend prevalence of EB have been estimated at 19 per mil-ths and 8 per million inhabitants, respectively (Fine,e Netherlands, the incidence of EB is 100 new cases per

    births, and the prevalence is 45 patients per million. Of these patients, 40% have been diagnosed with EBS,JEB, 35% with DEB and 0.4% with Kindler syndromet al., 2003). Depending on the type of EB, the symptomsdely in severity, ranging from minor to severe blisteringFig. 1), and even to a lethal form involving other organsores, 1999). In view of this large variation in symptoms,able that the clinically milder forms of EB have so farnderestimated (Sarkar et al., 2011).
