Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS; Mendelian Inheritance in Man 608649) is classified as a syndromic autosomal recessive ichthyosis. Here we describe two siblings with IPS and report a recurrent homozygous mutation (c.1430T>A) that is predicted to lead to a p.Val477Asp substitution in fatty acid transport protein 4. This mutation has arisen for the second time in an entirely distinct population from the Scandinavian population where it was first described.

Background: Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by abnormal keratinization, leading to significant health issues and reduced quality of life. ARCI encompasses harlequin ichthyosis (HI), congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE), and lamellar ichthyosis (LI). While all ARCI genes are linked to LI and CIE, HI is specifically associated with severe mutations in the gene.

Collodion baby is a rare congenital condition marked by a parchment-like membrane covering the body, often leading to complications such as bilateral ectropion. This condition poses risks of exposure keratopathy and other ocular issues. We present a case series of five infants with congenital bilateral ectropion associated with collodion babies, all born prematurely.

Article Synopsis
- * A reported case involves a female neonate born at 30 weeks who experienced severe respiratory distress and displayed the characteristic skin features of IPS, requiring intensive medical interventions.
- * Early diagnosis, genetic testing for FATP4 mutations, and coordinated care significantly improved the infant's condition, leading to her discharge after 4 weeks, marking the first documented case of IPS in Iraq.

Article Synopsis
- HELIX syndrome, caused by mutations in the claudin 10 b protein, presents with symptoms like hypohidrosis, xerophthalmia, and skin issues, and was detailed in a 2017 study involving only ten families.
- In this study, two adult brothers from a consanguineous Spanish family exhibited various symptoms, including skin anomalies and salt-losing nephropathy due to a novel genetic deletion.
- The findings suggest that early recognition of symptoms associated with HELIX syndrome can prevent misdiagnosis, emphasizing the need for specific genetic testing to ensure timely diagnosis and management.

Article Synopsis
- Harlequin ichthyosis (HI) is a severe genetic skin disorder caused by mutations in the ABCA12 gene, leading to the formation of large scales and deep cracks in the skin, with high mortality rates.
- A case report describes a woman who gave birth to a 33-week preterm baby exhibiting HI symptoms, who was then treated in the NICU by a team of various specialists.
- The baby's condition improved as the thick skin scales began to peel away, revealing healthier skin, and additional information on HI's features, diagnosis, and treatment options was provided.
