Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a skin disorder caused by fully-penetrant mutations in the keratin genes KRT5 and KRT14, leading to extensive cytolysis and cell fragility of basal keratinocytes. EBS is subject to environmental conditions and displays high intra-and interfamilial variability,

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a group of autosomal dominant genetic skin disorders caused by mutations of the keratin genes KRT5 and KRT14. It is characterised by lysis of basal keratinocytes leading to the development of intraepidermal blisters upon minor mechanical trauma. We investigated
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation (EBS-MP) is a rare dermatologic disorder of autosomal dominant inheritance with intraepidermal blistering after minor trauma, reticular hyperpigmentation unrelated to the blistering, nail dystrophy, and mild palmoplantar keratosis.

## Abstract Although cancer predisposition syndromes are rare and malignancies arising in this context account for only 1β10% of childhood tumors, studies performed in affected patients and their families have been of unique value for the understanding of cancer development. Three classes of genes
The clinical application of new genetic knowledge about inherited predisposition to breast cancer raises many questions which psychologists are well placed to address. There are large margins of uncertainty around the information which people can be given about their personal risk of developing brea
