Popis: We report a large, non-consanguineous family comprising five generations of individuals residing in Gujarat, India affected with localized Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex (EBS) Koebner type. We analyzed 14 individuals including 9 affected individuals from this family. Exome sequencing in two cases suggested a novel non-synonymous variation, p.L325H, in the KRT5 gene. The present analysis also reports the first causative mutation of EBS Koebner type from India.
