| Description | Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) represents a heterogeneous group of disorders of epidermal cornification. Nine genes have been identified to be causative of ARCI, including TGM1 1,2 , ABCA12 3 , NIPAL4 4 , CYP4F22 5 , ALOX12B, ALOXE3 6 , PNPLA1 7 , LIPN 8 , and CERS3 9 . ARCI is rare, with a reported prevalence 1 in 200,000 in European and northern American populations 10 . We started DNA analysis of ARCI in 2012 when PCR-direct sequencing of the TGM1, ALOX12B, ALOXE3, NIPAL4, and CYP4F22 genes was introduced and patients were analysed step by step for mutations in these genes. |
