Increased Genetic Instability in Exfoliated Oral Cells in Patients With Epidermolysis Bullosa

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the genetic instability in exfoliated oral cells of patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB).
Examined nuclear abnormalities in oral mucosa cells from patients with EB
Utilized exfoliative cytology for detection and analysis
Detected increased nuclear abnormalities in oral mucosa of EB patients
Highlights the correlation between EB and genetic instability in oral cells

Abstract

An increase in nuclear abnormalities at different sites of the oral mucosa demonstrated the genetic instability associated with EB. Exfoliative cytology represents a potential tool for oral biomonitoring in these patients.
