Loss-of-function variants of the filaggrin gene are associated with atopic eczema and associated phenotypes in Swedish families [PDF]
Recent studies have identified 2 loss-of-function variants, R501X and 2282del4, in the filaggrin gene as predisposing factors in the development of eczema.

Lamellar ichthyosis, a severe form of congenital ichthyosis, is often complicated by ectropion that, if unmanaged, can result in permanent vision loss. We report a 5-month-old infant of lamellar ichthyosis with bilateral grade III ectropion treated with ...

The epidthelial sodium channel ENaC and its regulators in the epidermal permeability barrier function [PDF]
The highly amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel ENaC is well known to be involved in controlling whole body sodium homeostasis and lung liquid clearance. ENaC expression has also been detected in the skin of amphibians and mammals.

A Spontaneous Fatp4/Scl27a4 Splice Site Mutation in a New Murine Model for Congenital Ichthyosis [PDF]
Congenital ichthyoses are life-threatening conditions in humans. We describe here the identification and molecular characterization of a novel recessive mutation in mice that results in newborn lethality with severe congenital lamellar ichthyosis. Mutant

We developed and implemented a 500‐gene panel for phenotype‐driven genetic testing of Mendelian disorders in South Africa's public healthcare system, achieving a 46% diagnostic yield. This platform supports scalable, cost‐effective rare disease diagnosis and lays the foundation for broader genetic services in resource‐limited settings.

Cytochrome b 5 null mouse: a new model for studying inherited skin disorders and the role of unsaturated fatty acids in normal homeostasis [PDF]
Microsomal cytochrome b (5) is a ubiquitous, 15.2 kDa haemoprotein implicated in a number of cellular processes such as fatty acid desaturation, drug metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis and methaemoglobin reduction.
