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
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
We present a 14-year-old boy with recessive X-linked ichthyosis in whom only one testis could be found. In this apparently normal testis, a lack of activity of the enzyme steroid sulphatase was demonstrated. Several male patients with recessive X-linked ichthyosis have been reported to have testicul
