Am J Pathol 1996, 148:1787-1796. This fascinating paper describes offspring with only the dental defects of junctional EB from a father affected with the generalized atrophic benign form with skin involvement as well. Molecular analysis disclosed that the children inherited the allele with a type XVII collagen missense allele, resulting in only the dental anomalies, but not the other paternal allele that carried the mutation in type XVII collagen that led to premature termination of gene transcription.

J Invest Dermatol 1995, 104:456-461. Molecular techniques can be used when a previous family member is affected and the gene mutation is determined. Use of DNA rather than reliance on fetal biopsy and ultrastructural analysis allows first-trimester diagnosis and termination of the pregnancy if indicated and desired by the parents.
