1. Hereditary ichthyosis : Causes, Skin Manifestations, Treatments and Quality of Life
Abstract : Hereditary ichthyosis is a collective name for many dry and scaly skin disorders ranging in frequency from common to very rare. The main groups are autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis, autosomal dominant epidermolytic hyperkeratosis and ichthyosis vulgaris, and x-linked recessive ichthyosis. READ MORE

2. Skin Barrier Function and mRNA Expression Profiles in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis, Ichthyosis Vulgaris, and X-linked Recessive Ichthyosis : Aetiopathogenic Differences and the Impact of Moisturizing Treatment
Abstract : Atopic dermatitis (AD), ichthyosis vulgaris (IV), and X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLRI) are characterized by dry skin and impaired skin barrier. AD and IV are related to loss-of-function mutations in FLG (encoding filaggrin), whereas XLRI is caused by deletions or inactivating mutations in the steroid sulphatase gene (STS). READ MORE

3. Studies on the pH gradient in normal and ichthyotic human skin
Abstract : In search for pathogenetic mechanisms underlying hyperkeratosis, we examined the pH gradient across the stratum corneum in normal and ichthyotic skin. Twenty students and employees, (12 men and 8 womenaged 25-69 years) served as controls. Patients with ichthyoses were recruited from the outpatient clinic (13 men aged 12-71 years). READ MORE

4. Genetic studies of skin barrier defects with focus on atopic dermatitis
Abstract : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, complex inflammatory skin disorder where a defect skin barrier is central in the pathogenesis. Mutations in the filaggrin gene cause ichthyosis vulgaris (IV). IV is one of several keratinization disorders named ichthyoses where mutations in skin barrier genes are a common underlying genetic factor. READ MORE
