Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is an autosomal recessive keratinization disorder of the skin. Genetic heterogeneity has been shown for the disease and there is evidence for the involvement of the transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene on chromosome 14q11. We have previously identified chromosome 14q11 haplotypes associated with ichthyosis in the Norwegian population. In this paper we describe antenatal exclusion of ichthyosis...
