The Genetic part of EB!



EB is genetic that mean our DNA is different than yours. When people are born with EB they are born missing the glue that holds their skin together. Most people with EB have inherited the condition.  They received the genes that makes the abnormalities in the skin from one or both parents. What that means we have different types of protein in the skin, including collagen and keratin. If any of these proteins are bad, our skin becomes fragile like a butterfly wing.
