General information
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) consist of a group of heterogeneous heritable disorders, among which Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB), characterised by blisters formed at sites of minor friction or trauma.
Clinical features
Affected horses can show lesions at birth, have erosions, ulceration and atrophic skin, with pigmentation and alopecia on the face, trunk and extremities, together with dystrophic nails. The characteristic blistering of the skin and mucous membranes is caused by tissue separation within the lamina lucida of the basement membrane zone at the dermal–epidermal junction. Affected animals may die soon after birth as a result of lack of ability to suckle.
