Gene-Targeted Next Generation Sequencing Identifies PNPLA1 Mutations in Patients with a Phenotypic Spectrum of Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis: The Impact of Consanguinity [PDF]
Heritable forms of ichthyoses, also referred to as generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification, are phenotypically a highly heterogeneous group of conditions caused by mutations in a number of genes playing a role in keratinocyte differentiation ...

The pH of the skin surface and its impact on the barrier function [PDF]
The `acid mantle' of the stratum corneum seems to be important for both permeability barrier formation and cutaneous antimicrobial defense. However, the origin of the acidic pH, measurable on the skin surface, remains conjectural.

Distinguishing ichthyoses by protein profiling.
To explore the usefulness of protein profiling for characterization of ichthyoses, we here determined the profile of human epidermal stratum corneum by shotgun proteomics.

Ocular complications of lamellar ichthyosis
Ichthyosis is a rare heterogeneous cutaneous disorder characterized by hyperkeratinization of the skin. They may be inherited or acquired following malnutrition, malignancy, or autoimmune disorders. Common forms of ichthyosis include lamellar ichthyosis (

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, atypical connexin GJB2 genemutation, and peripheral T-cell lymphoma: more than a random association? [PDF]
Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a variety of skin lesions— that is, palmoplantar keratoderma, thickening of the skin, and erythematous verrucous lesions—neurosensorial hypoacusia, and keratitis

Maximal use of 0.05% topical isotretinoin in patients with congenital ichthyosis results in low systemic exposure. [PDF]
Abstract Congenital ichthyoses (CI) are rare, inherited skin disorders characterized by hyperkeratosis, scaling and fissuring that significantly impair patients' quality of life. Treatment options are limited, with systemic retinoids reserved for severe cases owing to their adverse effect profile.
