CONGENITAL NON-BULLOUS ICHTHYOSIFORM ERYTHRODERMA Is also known as ichthyosiform erythroderma, nonbullous congenital, 1, formerly, erythrodermic ichthyosis, non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, ncie1, formerly, cie, collodion baby, self-healing, ichthyosiform erythroderma, brocq congenital, nonbullous form, forme

Description

Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE) is a variant of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI; see this term), a rare epidermal disease, characterized by fine, whitish scales on a background of erythematous skin over the whole body.

Most common symptoms of CONGENITAL NON-BULLOUS ICHTHYOSIFORM ERYTHRODERMA

• Intellectual disability
• Short stature
• Hearing impairment
• Growth delay
• Failure to thrive

Description

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a heterogeneous group of disorders of keratinization characterized primarily by abnormal skin scaling over the whole body. These disorders are limited to skin, with approximately two-thirds of patients presenting severe symptoms. The main skin phenotypes are lamellar ichthyosis (LI) and nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE), although phenotypic overlap within the same patient or among patients from the same family can occur (summary by Fischer, 2009). Neither histopathologic findings nor ultrastructural features clearly distinguish between NCIE and LI. In addition, mutations in several genes have been shown to cause both lamellar and nonbullous ichthyosiform erythrodermal phenotypes (Akiyama et al., 2003). At the First Ichthyosis Consensus Conference in Soreze in 2009, the term 'autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis' (ARCI) was designated to encompass LI, NCIE, and harlequin ichthyosis (ARCI4B ) (Oji et al., 2010).NCIE is characterized by prominent erythroderma and fine white, superficial, semiadherent scales. Most patients present with collodion membrane at birth and have palmoplantar keratoderma, often with painful fissures, digital contractures, and loss of pulp volume. In half of the cases, a nail dystrophy including ridging, subungual hyperkeratosis, or hypoplasia has been described. Ectropion, eclabium, scalp involvement, and loss of eyebrows and lashes seem to be more frequent in NCIE than in lamellar ichthyosis (summary by Fischer et al., 2000). In LI, the scales are large, adherent, dark, and pigmented with no skin erythema. Overlapping phenotypes may depend on the age of the patient and the region of the body. The terminal differentiation of the epidermis is perturbed in both forms, leading to a reduced barrier function and defects of lipid composition in the stratum corneum (summary by Lefevre et al., 2006).In later life, the skin in ARCI may have scales that cover the entire body surface, including the flexural folds, and the scales are highly variable in size and color. Erythema may be very mild and almost invisible. Some affected persons exhibit scarring alopecia, and many have secondary anhidrosis (summary by Eckl et al., 2005).For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, see ARCI1 (OMIM ).

ICHTHYOSIS-SHORT STATURE-BRACHYDACTYLY-MICROSPHEROPHAKIA SYNDROME Is also known as wmsl, weill-marchesani-like syndrome, 15q26.3 microdeletion syndrome

Description

Weill-Marchesani syndrome is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by microspherophakia, severe myopia, acute and/or chronic glaucoma, and cataract. Other features include brachydactyly and short stature. Patients may also have stiff joints and thickened skin, especially on the hands. Occasionally, cardiac defects or an abnormal heart rhythm is present (summary by Shah et al., 2014).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Weill-Marchesani syndrome, see WMS1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of ICHTHYOSIS-SHORT STATURE-BRACHYDACTYLY-MICROSPHEROPHAKIA SYNDROME

• Short stature
• Cataract
• Brachydactyly
• Myopia
• Optic atrophy
