X-linked and autosomal dominant forms of the ichthyosis in coinheritance.

According to modern classification, there are two forms of inherited ichthyoses: syndromic and non-syndromic, each of them consists of more than ten different nosologies. The commonest types of the ichthyosis are X-linked recessive (prevalence 1/2000-6000 in men) and autosomal dominant, or ichthyosis vulgaris with incomplete penetrance (1/250-1000). The X-linked form is associated with mutations in steroid sulfatase STS gene, it is noteworthy that there is a full deletion of the gene in 90% of cases.
