Abstract

In this study, we describe one Iranian patient who was diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) because of mutations in three candidate genes, including 3 mutations. Two missense mutations in the LAMA3 (D3134H) and LAMB3 (Y339H) genes and also, a synonymous mutation in the ITGB4 (H422H) gene were identified that leads to the Junctional-EBHerlitz (JEB-Herlitz) clinical phenotype. The patient had a heterozygous LAMA3 mutation combined with a heterozygous mutation in LAMB3. Our results propose that these mutations produce novel protein-coding transcripts which explain the JEB-Herlitz phenotype in the patient. Interestingly, this is the first report indicating that a digenic inheritance in the LAMA3 and LAMB3 which is responsible for JEB-Herlitz. Also, this is the first digenic inheritance recognized in the JEB-Herlitz family. This study provides a new way to clarify the molecular mechanisms of LAMA3 and LAMB3 genes in JEB-Herlitz. © 2021 Royan Institute (ACECR). All rights reserved.
