title: Epidermolysis bullosa with pyloric atresia.
abstract: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) with pyloric atresia (PA) is a rare form of EB. This article describes the clinical and pathologic features and molecular genetics of EB-PA, the mutations in the alpha(6)beta(4) integrin and plectin genes that cause EB-PA, and the clinical implications of molecular genetics on EB-PA.
