Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome caused by a novel missense mutation in <scp>FATP</scp>4 gene‐a case report from India

Abstract

Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) is reported mainly from Scandinavia where most of the cases are homozygous or compound heterozygous for the nonsense mutation c.504C>A (p.Cys168*) in exon3 indicating a common ancestor for this mutation. The occurrence of IPS in an Indian patient suggests that it is more widespread than previously reported.
