Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (IEB) is a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous diseases characterized by the formation on the skin and mucous membranes blisters and erosion due to injury. Different forms of IEB can be accompanied by various extracutaneous complications, such as blisters and erosion on the cornea and mucous membranes, stenoses and strictures of the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, muscle dystrophy, and malignant tumors. Therefore diagnosis and prescribing appropriate treatment and follow-up care is an important task for neonatologists and pediatric dermatologists. Because the manifestations of IEB are numerous, a specialized center is required for optimal care, where multidisciplinary care will be provided (neonatologists, pediatric surgeons, pediatric dermatologists, etc.). The purpose of this case report is to pay attention of specialists to a disease that is rare, to present clinical case of IEB in newborn who was admitted to the intensive care unit of newborns of Vinnitsa Regional Children's Clinical Hospital.

Background: Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a genetic disorder characterized by skin fragility and unique oral features. This prospective study aimed to analyze the correlation between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and the objectively measured oral health indices of people suffering from EB and within their subtypes.
Methods: The German version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14G) was employed for the assessment of OHRQoL.

Article Synopsis
- Autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe inherited skin disorder caused by mutations in a specific gene, presenting with symptoms like skin erosions and atrophic scars.
- A study of a four-generation consanguineous family identified a harmful genetic mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in two patients with RDEB through whole exome sequencing (WES).
- The findings highlight the importance of WES in diagnosing complex genetic diseases and contribute to understanding the mutation spectrum of the gene in different populations.
