Plasma metabolomic profiling reflects the malnourished and chronic inflammatory state in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a hereditary blistering disorder characterized by skin fragility, chronic inflammation, malnutrition, and fibrosis. Metabolomics is an emerging investigative field that helps elucidate disease pathophysiology and identify biomarkers. However, previous metabolomic studies in RDEB are limited.
