An inherited non-syndromic congenital ichthyosis characterised by the infancy-onset of palmoplantar peeling of the skin (aggravated by exposure to water and by occlusion) associated with dry, scaly skin over most of the body. Pruritus and hypohidrosis may also be associated. Well-demarcated areas of denuded skin appear in moist and traumatised regions and skin biopsies reveal reduced cell-cell adhesion in the basal and suprabasal layers, prominent intercellular oedema, numerous aggregates of keratin filaments in basal keratinocytes, attenuated cornified cell envelopes, and epidermal barrier impairment.
