Common Ichthyoses
Ichthyosis vulgaris and steroid sulfatase deficiency -- the two disorders every clinician meets
- Ichthyosis vulgaris: history and how common it is
- The cause: a missing skin protein called filaggrin
- What filaggrin normally does
- Why filaggrin loss causes more than dry skin
- Mild ichthyosis vulgaris: fine scaling of the legs
- Hyperlinear palms: accentuated skin markings
- Severe ichthyosis vulgaris: complete filaggrin loss
- Ichthyosis vulgaris and allergy go together
- Ichthyosis vulgaris on biopsy: a thin granular layer
- Telling ichthyosis vulgaris apart from look-alikes
- Treating ichthyosis vulgaris
- Steroid sulfatase deficiency: history
- The cause: a missing enzyme called steroid sulfatase
- A surprising effect on labour
- Steroid sulfatase deficiency: dark, adherent scales
- The "dirty neck" pattern
- Beyond the skin: associated findings
- Biopsy findings and carriers
- Confirming the diagnosis in the lab
- Telling it apart, and treating it
Keratinopathic Ichthyoses
Disorders of the keratin scaffold itself: epidermolytic ichthyosis, ichthyosis with confetti, and ichthyosis hystrix Curth-Macklin
- Epidermolytic ichthyosis: history
- Epidermolytic ichthyosis: how common, how inherited
- The cause: keratin filaments that cannot hold together
- How a keratin mutation causes blistering skin
- Classic epidermolytic ichthyosis: from blistering to hyperkeratosis
- Living with classic epidermolytic ichthyosis
- Superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis: milder, with "molting" skin
- A patchy (mosaic) form: epidermolytic epidermal nevi
- Epidermolytic ichthyosis under the microscope
- Telling epidermolytic ichthyosis apart from other newborn rashes
- Treating epidermolytic ichthyosis: the newborn period
- Treating epidermolytic ichthyosis: children and adults
- Retinoids and the future: gene-targeted treatment
- Ichthyosis with confetti: islands of normal skin
- Why normal-skin islands appear: reverted cells

- Ichthyosis hystrix Curth-Macklin: cause and clinical picture
- Ichthyosis hystrix Curth-Macklin: diagnosis and treatment
Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyoses
ARCI: a spectrum from lamellar ichthyosis to congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, caused by faults in epidermal lipid processing

- ARCI: shared features across the spectrum
- ARCI: history and how common it is
- How an ARCI gene defect thickens the skin

- The lipoxygenase genes: ALOX12B and ALOXE3
- NIPAL4: the "ichthyin" gene
- CYP4F22 and CERS3: building the skin's ceramide fats
- PNPLA1, SULT2B1, SDR9C7, and LIPN: the rarer ARCI genes
- Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome: a distinct ARCI form
