Ichthyosis Bullosa of Siemens Is Caused by Mutations in the Keratin 2e Gene [PDF]
Ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens is a blistering disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. The disease resembles bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma but is less severe. Keratins K1 and K10 have been implicated in bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. Linkage analysis pointed to the involvement of a keratin type II gene (12q11-13) in

A New Keratin 2e Mutation in Ichthyosis Bullosa of Siemens [PDF]
Ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens (IBS) is a rare autosomal dominant skin condition with features similar to epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EH). Clinical symptoms are characterized by mild hyperkeratosis with an acral distribution. Histology shows epidermolysis of upper spinous and granular cells, whereas ultrastructurally, tonofilaments form perinuclear ...

Genetic Linkage of the Keratin Type II Gene Cluster with Ichthyosis Bullosa of Siemens and with Autosomal Dominant Ichthyosis Exfoliativa [PDF]
Ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by mild hyperkeratosis and blistering. Autosomal dominant ichthyosis exfoliativa is a recently described disease with clinical features similar to ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens, but in contrast to ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens no histologic signs typical for epidermolytic ...

Ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens sans history of blistering: an interesting case report
Ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens (IBS) is a rare disease characterized by superficial blistering, mild epidermal hyperkeratosis over flexural areas and characteristic mauserang phenomenon (moulting).We report an interesting case of IBS in a mentally retarded hypothyroid patient who did not give any history of blistering.

Ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens is a rare autosomal dominant skin disorder whose clinical findings are quite similar to those of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. The differences between those two diseases include absence of erythroderma and different distributions in the skin in ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens.

Proposal for a 6-step approach for differential diagnosis of neonatal erythroderma. [PDF]
Abstract The broad differential diagnosis of neonatal erythroderma often poses a diagnostic challenge. Mortality of neonatal erythroderma is high due to complications of the erythroderma itself and the occasionally severe and life‐threatening underlying disease.

Consensus recommendations for the use of retinoids in ichthyosis and other disorders of cornification in children and adolescents. [PDF]
Abstract Topical and systemic retinoids have long been used in the treatment of ichthyoses and other disorders of cornification. Due to the need for long‐term use of retinoids for these disorders, often beginning in childhood, numerous clinical concerns must be considered. Systemic retinoids have known side effects involving bone and eye. Additionally,

Narrowing the Differential: A Unique Case of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. [PDF]
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a rare inherited skin disorder characterized by mechanical stress‐induced blistering and skin erosion. Diagnosis is confirmed through molecular genetic testing, typically identifying mutations in the COL7A1 gene. DEB can mimic other neonatal dermatologic conditions, making early identification challenging.

Genetic testing and new variants in diagnosis of congenital ichthyoses. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate how diagnostic practice in congenital ichthyoses has evolved during the years 2000–2020 and what kind of gene variants of congenital ichthyosis have been found. We observed four novel variants in patients with the clinical diagnoses of congenital ichthyoses.
