RESUMO
Bullous dermolysis of the newborn is an inherited mechano-bullous disorder classed as a rare subtype of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Fewer than 30 cases of bullous dermolysis of the newborn have been reported in the literature and the pathogenesis of the disease is poorly understood. Only a minority of cases have had pathogenic mutations identified. We present a case of a neonate born to non-consanguineous Caucasian parents with an exon 54 (c.5017G > A, p.G1673R) mutation reported as one mutant allele in a case of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (generalized other).
