Here are more details! It is true "To be born as a human without defects itself a blessing!"


Harlequin ichthyosis


Other Names:

Ichthyosis congenita, Harlequin fetus type; Harlequin fetus

Categories:

Congenital and Genetic Diseases; Skin Diseases


Summary
Listen
Harlequin ichthyosis is a severe genetic disorder that mainly affects the skin.[1] The newborn infant is covered with plates of thick skin that crack and split apart. The thick plates can pull at and distort facial features and can restrict breathing and eating.[2] Mutations in the ABCA12 gene cause harlequin ichthyosis.[1] This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.[1][2]
