- To consolidate current knowledge on classic and emerging neurocutaneous syndromes associated with ichthyosis.
Summary:
- The review examines classic keratotic neurocutaneous syndromes such as Sjögren-Larsson syndrome, trichotyodystrophy, keratitis, ichthyosis and deafness (KID) syndrome, and Rud syndrome.
- It also addresses current research on cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, neutral lipids storage disease with ichthyosis, multiple sulphatase deficiency disease, and peroxisomal disorders.
Impact:
- Enhanced understanding of these syndromes can lead to improved diagnostic accuracy.
- This knowledge is vital for developing more effective therapeutic strategies and patient management plans.
