Late-onset localized junctional epidermolysis bullosa and mental retardation: a distinct autosomal recessive syndrome.

We present 2 sibs with a local junctional type of epidermolysis bullosa associated with enamel defect of the teeth, dystrophic nails of the feet, and mental retardation. Subluxation of the lenses was evident in 1 of them. This combination found in a brother and a sister seems to represent a distinct autosomal recessive type of epidermolysis bullosa.
