A rare syndromic congenital ichthyosis with characteristics of premature birth in addition to thick caseous and desquamating epidermis, neonatal respiratory asphyxia and persistent eosinophilia. After the perinatal period, a spontaneous improvement in the health of affected patients is observed and skin features (vernix caseosa-like scale) evolve into a mild presentation of flat follicular hyperkeratosis with atopy. The disease is caused by mutation in the FATP4 (SLC27A4) gene.
