The study will compare gene expression differences between blistered and non-blistered skin from individuals with all subtypes of EB, as well as normal skin from non-EB subjects. State of the art computational analysis will be performed to help identify new drugs that might help all EB wound healing and reduce pain. Researchers will focus on drugs that have already been approved for treatment of other dermatologic or non-dermatologic diseases, and therefore be repurposed for treatment of EB. Drug development is a very expensive process taking decades for execution. Drug repurposing on the other hand, significantly reduces the cost and shortens the amount of time that is needed to bring effective treatments to clinical use. To date, there is no specific treatment targeting the physiology and immunologic response in EB patients during wound healing. Market availability of repurposed medications will provide all EB patients rapid access to treatments, thus improving their quality of life.

Characterize gene expression changes in EB using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and Computational Profiling Potential Drug Targets
Using bioinformatic algorithms to identify changes in gene expression and review of over 2000 FDA-approved drugs based on predicted modulation of gene expression changes using a computational evolutionary algorithm system.
Through the completion of study in 1 year.
Blood and tissue specimen will be collected from subjects with an EB diagnosis. Tissue specimen will be collected from blistered and nonblistered skin.
Blood and tissue specimen will be collected from healthy subjects with non-EB. Tissue specimen will be collected from an inconspicuous skin area.
