Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa (DEB-Pr, OMIM #604129) is one of the
rarest subtypes of EB, characterized by severe itching, lichenoid or nodular prurigo-like
lesions, violaceous linear scarring, milia, occasional albopapuloid lesions, localized
primarily on the trunk and lower limbs, and nail dystrophy [

]. No specific COL7A1 mutation responsible for DEB-Pr phenotype has been identified,
so far [
