Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis

Definition:

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses comprise a heterogeneous group of skin disorders of hyperkeratosis. Two non-syndromic forms are defined including lamellar ichthyosis (LI) and non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NBCIE). LI shows more severe phonotype with tight covering of a newborn that is later replaced by large, dark scales. In contrast, NBCIE shows a more pronounced erythroderma with fine, white scaling.
