    TLDR Focal palmoplantar callosities may help diagnose non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa.
    The document described a case of a 41-year-old man with non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB-nH) who presented with focal palmoplantar callosities, an unusual feature for this condition. The patient had lifelong symptoms including blistering, hair and nail changes, and atrophic alopecia. Genetic testing identified a homozygous mutation in the COL17A1 gene, confirming JEB-nH. The study proposed that focal palmoplantar callosities might be a clinical feature of JEB-nH, aiding in early diagnosis, and suggested a link between keratin mutations and hyperkeratosis, enhancing the understanding of JEB-nH's clinical manifestations.
