KINDLER'S SYNDROME - A CASE REPORT

Abstract: Kindlers syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by blistering in infancy, photosensitivity, poikiloderma and mucosal inflammation. It is categorized as a subtype of Epidermolysis bullosa. Mutation of FERMT1 gene resulting in impaired actin cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix network results in the clincopathological features. We report a case of a 13 year old boy, 1st born of 30 consanguineous parents with history of blistering and mottled pigmentation since 6 months of age, photosensitivity and palmoplantar keratoderma. This case is presented for its rarity
