Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis (ARLI) belongs to the group of congenital disorders of cornification. It is characterized by a severe and generalized ichthyosis, and other variable cutaneous signs. The human transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene was recently found to be the disease-causing gene. Linkage analysis in 23 families (of which 13 were consanguineous) showed that for 10 of them, the disease was linked...
