Junctional epidermolysis bullosa with pyloric atresia (PA-JEB) is a highly lethal, inherited, autosomal recessive disease. Thus far, prenatal diagnosis of this syndrome was only realized on pregnancies at risk for recurrence. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman, first cousin to her husband, wh
## Abstract We report on the prenatal diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa letalis with pyloric atresia in a pregnancy not known to be at risk for this condition. Elevated maternal serum alphafetoprotien levels led to ultrasonography which demonstrated gastric dilatation, consistent with pyloric atre
Deletion of the first pair of fibronectin type III repeats of the integrin b-4 gene is associated with epidermolysis bullosa, pyloric atresia and aplasia cutis congenita in the original Carmi syndrome patients.
