Description : Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a heterogeneous group of disorders
of keratinization characterized primarily by abnormal skin scaling over the whole
body. These disorders are limited to skin, with approximately two-thirds of patients
presenting severe symptoms. The main skin phenotypes are lamellar ichthyosis (LI)
and nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE), although phenotypic overlap
within the same patient or among patients from the same family can occur (summary
by Fischer, 2009). Neither histopathologic findings nor ultrastructural features clearly
distinguish between NCIE and LI. In addition, mutations in several genes have been
shown to cause both lamellar and nonbullous ichthyosiform erythrodermal phenotypes
(Akiyama et al., 2003). At the First Ichthyosis Consensus Conference in Soreze in
2009, the term 'autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis' (ARCI) was designated to
encompass LI, NCIE, and harlequin ichthyosis (ARCI4B; 242500) (Oji et al., 2010).;
