    genetic disorder causing fragile skin that blisters easily

    Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa (JEB) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by fragile skin that blisters easily, often in response to minor trauma or friction. This condition is caused by mutations in genes responsible for producing proteins that help anchor the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) to the underlying layer (dermis), leading to separation and blister formation at the junction between these layers.
