## Abstract We observed a boy with short stature, chondrodysplasia punctata, ichthyosis, and a terminal deletion of Xp. Steroid sulfatase deficiency was demonstrated in the patient's fibroblasts. Molecular analysis showed a deletion of the entire steroid sulfatase gene. This case represents another
A girl with ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency was investigated for molecular and cytogenetic abnormalities that might explain this phenotype. Analysis with polymorphic DNA markers indicated that the patient did not inherit paternal alleles of the OTC locus, but that she did inherit the pro
Most caucasian patients with X-linked ichthyosis (XLI) reportedly display large genomic deletions involving the entire steroid sulphatase (STS) gene and flanking regions. In this study, we investigated the deletion patterns of the STS gene and flanking regions in 12 unrelated Japanese patients with
