A case of self-improving collodion ichthyosis associated with a rare variant of the ALOX12B gene.

Abstract

Collodion baby is usually a manifestation of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, a heterogeneous group of congenital hyperkeratotic genodermatoses with highly variable severity and genetic background. Herein, we report a case of self-improving collodion ichthyosis, a rare subtype of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, characterized by an almost-complete spontaneous resolution of symptoms.
