Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses (ARCI) include several severe subtypes including harlequin ichthyosis (HI), lamellar ichthyosis and non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. Patients with these severe types of ichthyoses frequently show severe hyperkeratosis and scales over a large part of the body surface form birth and their quality of life is often severely affected. Recently, research into...
