Description : Ichthyosis is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of the skin. See, e.g., autosomal dominant ichthyosis vulgaris (146700), which is caused by mutations in the filaggrin gene (FLG; 135940). Ichthyosis can also be observed in multiple sulfatase deficiency (272200) (Shapiro, 1977). X-linked ichthyosis is fundamentally the same disorder as placental steroid sulfatase deficiency, which is often first noted in the pregnant mother of affected males by decreased estrogen or delayed progression of parturition (Alperin and Shapiro, 1997). This is thus an example of affinity ('lumping') of phenotypes thought previously to be separate, the opposite of genetic heterogeneity. Schnyder (1970) gave a useful classification of the inherited ichthyoses. Hernandez-Martin et al. (1999) provided a comprehensive review of X-linked ichthyosis. They pointed out that among all genetic disorders X-linked ichthyosis shows one of the highest ratios of chromosomal deletions; complete deletion has been found in up to 90% of patients.;

Inheritance : X-linked recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the steroid sulfatase gene (STS, 300747.0001);

Neoplasia : Increased risk of testicular cancer;

Laboratory abnormalities : Pregnant mothers of affected children have decreased plasma and urinary estrogen; Decreased or absent steroid sulfatase activity;

Prefixed ID : #308100;
