Clinical Trial Summary

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.

Description:

The goal of this Research Study is to better understand how the genetic information in subject's microbiome correlates to Epidermolysis Bullosa

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signed informed consent, demonstrating that the patient understands the procedures required for the study and the purpose of the study i. May be signed by parent or legal guardian in the case of minor or adult unable to provide consent

2. Male or female of all ages. (interest is given to children who present with autism or Crohn's and whose parents wish to analyze their children's gut flora. Also of interest analysis of development of the child's microbiome. In the case of autism, the younger the child, the better to correct the neurological problems if an association is found between autism and the microbiome)

3. Diagnosis of Epidermolysis by at least one of the following i. Biopsy ii. Genetic testing

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Refusal to sign informed consent form

2. History of bariatric surgery, total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis or proctocolectomy.

3. Postoperative stoma, ostomy, or ileoanal pouch

4. Participation in any experimental drug protocol within the past 12 weeks

5. Treatment with total parenteral nutrition

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing	Relative abundance of bacterial classes within taxonomic phyla and, more broadly, within their domain will be analyzed by sequencing the gut microbiome. These data will then be categorized with Epidermolysis Bullosa	Three years
