" /> Ichthyosis hystrix, curth-macklin type - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Ichthyosis hystrix, curth-macklin type;

Symbol : IHCM;

CISMeF acronym : IHCM;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Anton-Lamprecht (1978) stated that 4 genetic disorders of keratinization were known to have a structural defect of tonofibrils. (1) In the harlequin fetus (242500), an abnormal x-ray diffraction pattern of the horn material points to a cross-beta-protein structure instead of the normal alpha-protein structure of keratin. (2) Bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma (EHK; 113800) is characterized by an early formation of clumps and perinuclear shells due to an abnormal arrangement of tonofibrils. (3) In the Curth-Macklin form of ichthyosis hystrix, concentric unbroken shells of abnormal tonofilaments form around the nucleus. (4) In ichthyosis hystrix gravior (146600), only rudimentary tonofilaments are found with compensatory production of mucous granules.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the KRT1 gene (KRT1, 139350.0013);

Prefixed ID : #146590;
