Approximately 25 cases have been reported in the literature. After the shedding of the membrane, patients present with mild scaling. Caused by mutations in the TGM1, ALOXE3 or ALOX12B genes encoding respectively transglutaminase 1, involved in the cornification of the stratum corneum, and arachidonate 3 and 12(R) lipoxygenases involved in lipid metabolism. Transmission is autosomal recessive.
