The X chromosomes of individuals with isolated steroid sulphatase deficiency (X-linked ichthyosis) from ten families were studied by flow karyotype analysis. In four of the families, a small but significant reduction in the relative fluorescence of the X chromosome was detected consistent with a del
The present study analyzes the frequency of molecular deletions in the steroid sulfatase (STS) encoding gene in a sample of 50 Mexican subjects with biochemical diagnosis of X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). To establish the correct diagnosis, STS activity was determined in leukocytes using 7-3 H-dehydroep
We have studied 16 men, from 10 unrelated Italian families, affected by steroid suphatase (STS) deficiency, which is the basic defect of X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). The patients' clinical diagnoses were of either isolated ichthyosis or ichthyosis associated with Kallmann syndrome (KS) (hypogonadotrop
## 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
