Abstract:
This article contains the author's views on genetic counseling in cases concerning the epidermolysis bullosa syndromes. The provision of genetic counseling entails absolutes such as diagnosis, natural history, treatment, mode of inheritance, recurrence risks/prenatal diagnosis and referral. The genetic counselor needs to be informed and informative and answer all the needs of the patients and their families reliably both at the initial consultation and subsequently as needed over the course of the patient's life.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
