Value of a café-au-lait macules screening clinic: Experience from The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

Background/objectives: Café-au-lait macules (CALMs) are a characteristic feature of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), but also occur in other genetic disorders.

Outcomes and Predictors for Re-stenosis of Esophageal Stricture in Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Multicenter Cohort Study.

Background: Esophageal strictures are the common gastrointestinal complications in patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) requiring dilation. There is limited information on the best type of intervention, outcomes, and predictors for re-stenosis.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the frequency, clinical presentation of esophageal strictures in EB patients, and to ascertain the predictors of re-stenosis.
