Ichthyoses Flashcards
Inheritance of non bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma
AR
Clinical difference between lamellar ichthyosis and nbcie
Lamellar more scaly
Nbie more erythrodermic and milder
When does a colloidal membrane resolve and likelihood of ichthyosis
2-3 weeks, 60% chance (usually lamellar)
Calms syndromes
Nf1 and 2
Mccune Albright, cowdens, blooms, AT, menII, turners, ts, piebaldism
OCA1 defect and phenotype vs OCA2
1: No tyrosinase activity
White hair, white skin, pink or blue eyes
2,3,4: reduced tyrosinase activity variable severity
Hermansky pudlak syndrome features
Oculocutaneous albinism, platelet dysfunction, immunodeficiency. Due to an abnormality in lysosomal function
Chediak-higashi features
Immunodeficiency, bleeding defect, partial albinism. Lysosomal regulating defect
Griscelli syndrome features
Immunodeficiency , albinism, often fatal. Defect in microtubule transportation
Waardenburg syndrome
White forelock, deafness, neural crest abnormalities, albinism
Inheritance of lamellar ichthyosis
AR
Next investigation after a baby has hyperkeratosis in a linear or whorled pattern
Bony xray - looking for epiphyseal stippling. (Conraid-Hunermann syndrome)
Ix for conradi-hunermann
Bony xray - stippling
neonatal skin bx: may show calcium in the epidermis with von kossas stain
tx of conradi-hunermann
refer ophthal - cataracts
ortho: asymmetric limb shortening, short stature, scoliosis, stippled epiphyses
examine first degree relatives.
CHILD syndrome
CHILD – congenital hemidysplasia, with ichthyosiform erythroderma and limb defects
Gene in CHILD syndrome
X linked dominant
NSDHL gene on Xq 28, Conradi’s gene: EBP has been described. Both involved in cholesterol biosynthesis
Most common DDx
Conradi-Hummerman-Happle
Mendes de Costa AKA
Erythrokeratoderma variabilis
Mendes de Costa gene and inheritance
- AD
GJB3 encoding connexin 31
GJB4 encoding connexin 30.3
Which ichthyosis has a high risk of : SCC of skin, tongue, proliferating pilar tumours (benign or malignant), epidermoid or pilar cysts
KID syndrome
Hailey Hailey
Inheritance and gene
- AD, ATP2C1, interfering with intercellular Ca signalling
Clinical features of Hailey-Hailey
Flaccid blisters and erosions on neck and intertriginous areas, esp axilla and groin.
Moist malodours vegetations and fissures, worse in summer
Segmentation variants can occur
Nails: longitudinal leukonychia
Collodion babies – causes
Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma
Lamellar ichthyosis
Self healing collodion baby
