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 ...

Proteomic analysis of a filaggrin-deficient skin organoid model shows evidence of increased transcriptional-translational activity, keratinocyte-immune crosstalk and disordered axon guidance [PDF]
Background: Atopic eczema is an itchy inflammatory disorder characterised by skin barrier dysfunction. Loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding filaggrin ( FLG) are a major risk factor, but the mechanisms by which filaggrin haploinsufficiency ...

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.

ABCA12 Frameshift Deletion in Domestic Cats With Ichthyosis Fetalis
ABSTRACT Background Ichthyosis fetalis (IF), also known as harlequin ichthyosis, is a rare and often fatal autosomal recessive congenital skin disorder. It is characterized by thickened, hard skin plaques and deep skin fissures that limit mobility and cause malformations of the eyes, lips and ears.

Molecular organization and in situ assembly of the human skin barrier [PDF]
A deficient skin barrier function is a characteristic feature of skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis and the ichtyoses. A malformation of the lipid matrix might be a major factor in barrier deficient skin disease.

ABSTRACT The stratum corneum, as the outermost layer of the skin, functions as a critical barrier that maintains cutaneous hydration and systemic homeostasis. Among its structural lipids, ceramides constitute the most abundant and diverse component. These molecules are essential for the formation of lamellar structures that secure barrier integrity ...

Neonatal Skin Disorders: A Review of Selected Dermatologic Abnormalities
The skin serves many purposes, acting as a barrier to infection, protecting internal organs, contributing to temperature regulation, storing insulating fats, excreting electrolytes and water, and providing tactile sensory input. This article focuses on a
