Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis (ARIH; MIM 602400) syndrome is characterized by diffused congenital ichthyosis and generalized non-scarring hypotrichosis. The underlying genetic cause of ARIH syndrome has been associated with sequence variants of the gene ST14, encoding type II transmembrane serine protease matriptase, which maps to chromosome 11q24.3. The current report aimed to investigate the...
