CONCLUSIONS: Hence, it is important to work with patients and their families to identify and strengthen adaptive and coping behaviors. That is possible only through the synergistic working of a multidisciplinary team made up of experienced doctors, psychologists, and social workers while in contact with patient Associations.

Epidermolysis Bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare disease, characterized by blistering and erosion of the skin and mucous membrane where the separation occurs within the basal layer of the epidermis due to fragility of basal keratinocytes. This disease is mostly inherited in autosomal dominant fashion, mostly due to mutations affecting either keratin 5 (KRT5) or keratin 14 (KRT14) genes. Most of reported EBS human models come from patient immortalized cell lines which limit the study of pathological phenotypes.
