H. Res. 335
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
December 9 (legislative day, December 8), 2006.
Whereas epidermolysis bullosa is a rare disease characterized 
by the presence of extremely fragile skin that results in 
the development of recurrent, painful blisters, open sores, 
and in some forms of the disease, in disfiguring scars, 
disabling musculoskeletal deformities, and internal blis-
tering; 
Whereas approximately 12,500 individuals in the United 
States are affected by the disease; 
Whereas data from the National Epidermolysis Bullosa Reg-
istry indicates that of every one million live births, 20 in-
fants are born with the disease; 
Whereas there currently is no cure for the disease; 
Whereas children with the disease require almost around-the-
clock care; 
Whereas approximately 90 percent of individuals with 
epidermolysis bullosa report experiencing pain on an av-
erage day; 
Whereas the skin is so fragile for individuals with the disease 
that even minor rubbing and day-to-day activity may 
cause blistering, including from activities such as writing, 
eating, walking, and from the seams on their clothes;
•HRES 335 EH 
Whereas most individuals with the disease have inherited the 
disease through genes they receive from one or both par-
ents; 
Whereas epidermolysis bullosa is so rare that many health 
care practitioners have never heard of it or seen a patient 
with it; 
Whereas individuals with epidermolysis bullosa often feel iso-
lated because of the lack of knowledge in the Nation 
about the disease and the impact that it has on the body; 
Whereas more funds should be dedicated toward research to 
develop treatments and eventually a cure for the disease; 
and 
Whereas the last week of October would be an appropriate 
time to recognize National Epidermolysis Bullosa Week 
in order to raise public awareness about the prevalence 
of epidermolysis bullosa, the impact it has on families, 
and the need for additional research into a cure for the 
disease: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the goals and ideals of a National 
Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week to raise public 
awareness and understanding of epidermolysis bullosa; 
(2) recognizes the need for a cure for the disease; 
and 
(3) encourages the people of the United States and 
interested groups to support the week through appro-
priate ceremonies and activities to promote public aware-
ness of epidermolysis bullosa and to foster under-

their families.

Whereas more than 4 out of 5 executive businesswomen

nizes the role of women’s sports programs in the develop-
ment of women’s leadership skills and supports the goals
