Lamellar ichthyosis in Child

Synopsis

Lamellar ichthyosis is an inherited disorder, most often due to an error in the keratinocyte transglutaminase gene I, resulting in a defect in cell envelope formation and cornification. The inheritance is almost always autosomal recessive. The hallmark of the disease is a collodion membrane at birth, followed by thick plate-like scales on most of the skin surface. Collodion babies tend to be premature, having all the associated risks of prematurity.
