Generalidades - Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis (ARCI)
- 12 genes associated with ARCI
- Genes involve: lipid transport, lipid biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, role in assembling suprastructure (cornified envelope)
- ARCI occurs in approximately 1 in 100.000 to 300.000 live births
- Overlapping clinical features
- Genotype phenotype correlation
- Severity of the mutation correlates with severity of disease
- Treatment
- Emollients
- Keratolytics
- Topical and systemic retinoids
- Infection control
- Emerging role of biologic therapy (similar to psoriasiform disorders)
- Differential diagnosis of Collodion Membrane
- CIE (now ARCI)
- L (Lamellar - now ARCI)
- Ectodermal dysplasia
- Neutral Lipid Storage
- Self-healing collodion
- Idiopathic
- Gaucher’s (type 2)
- Harlequin (now ARCI) Hay-Well’s (scalp erosions)
- Trichothiodystrophy
Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma (CIE) (!)
- Mutation in ALOXE3, ALOX12B, TGM1, NIPAL4, ABCA12, CYP4F22, PNPLA1, LIPN, CerS3, SDR9C7, SLC27A4 → impaired lipid synthesis & metabolism in lamellar granules
- Hyperkeratosis, keratinocyte vacuolization, a prominent granular layer with clumped keratin in suprabasal cells, lamellar body accumulation
- Variable clinical presentation and severity
- Fine white scaling with pronouced erythema develops over time
- Accentuated in flexural surfaces
- Variable palm/sole involvement
- Heat intolerance/hypohidrosis
- Ectropion, variable alopecia
