Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Anton-Lamprecht (1978) stated that 4 genetic disorders of keratinization were known to have a structural defect of tonofibrils. (1) In the harlequin fetus (242500), an abnormal x-ray diffraction pattern of the horn material points to a cross-beta-protein structure ...
Clinical Description OMIM This form of ichthyosis was first reported by Curth and Macklin (1954) and was restudied by Ollendorff-Curth et al. (1972) and Anton-Lamprecht et al. (1973). An abnormality of tonofibrils is demonstrated by electron microscopy, namely, formation of concentric ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In affected members of a 3-generation family with IHCM showing linkage to chromosome 12q, Sprecher et al. (2001) identified a 5191GG-A mutation in the KRT1 gene (139350.0013) leading to a frameshift and premature termination codon 229 bp downstream. ...
