Description : Anton-Lamprecht (1978) stated that 4 genetic disorders of keratinization are 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 (146590), concentric unbroken shells of abnormal tonofilaments form around the nucleus. (4) In ichthyosis hystrix gravior, only rudimentary tonofilaments are found with compensatory production of mucous granules. Goldsmith (1976) used the designation of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis for the condition that is called bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (BCIE) when generalized and ichthyosis hystrix when localized.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
