Description : Two main subtypes of peeling skin syndrome, noninflammatory type A and inflammatory
type B, have been suggested (Traupe, 1989; Judge et al., 2004). Type B, in which generalized
peeling skin is associated with pruritus and atopy, is an unusual autosomal recessive
ichthyosiform erythroderma characterized by lifelong patchy peeling of the entire
skin with onset at birth or shortly thereafter. Several patients have been reported
with high IgE levels (summary by Oji et al., 2010). - Heterogeneity The noninflammatory
'type A' form of peeling skin syndrome, the so-called acral type in which skin peeling
is limited to the dorsa of the hands and feet (609796), is caused by mutation in the
TGM5 gene (603805).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the corneodesmosin gene (CDSN, 602593.0003);
Laboratory abnormalities : Low plasma tryptophan (inflammatory type B);
