A four-year-old boy presented with hepatomegaly, vacuolized granulocytes (Jordans' anomaly) and slightly progressive myopathy as signs of multisystem triglyceride storage disease. The nine-year-old sister of the patient also showed Jordans' anomaly and early fatigability, but no overt weakness.
BACKGROUND
Dorfman-Chanarin syndrome (DCS), also referred to as neutral lipid storage disease with ichthyosis, is a rare autosomal recessive form of nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, characterized by the presence of intracellular lipid droplets in multiorgans. DCS patients often have
The in vitro incorporation of 14C acetate by the epidermis has been studied in patients with autosomal dominant ichthyosis and in patients with a dry, itchy, slightly scaly skin associated with a disorder of the small bowel. Analysis of 14C acetate containing lipid moieties by thin layer
A consanguineous family from Pakistan was ascertained to have a novel deafness-dystonia syndrome with motor regression, ichthyosis-like features and signs of sensory neuropathy. By applying a combined strategy of linkage analysis and whole-exome sequencing in the presented family, a homozygous
Autosomal dominant lamellar ichthyosis (ADLI) is a recently recognized genetic skin disorder. Clinically and histologically, it cannot be distinguished with certainty from the more frequent autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis (ARLI), which in itself may still be heterogeneous. By ultrastructural
Neutral lipid storage disease with ichthyosis is a newly recognized heritable disorder characterized by widespread cellular triglyceride storage. Lipid metabolism in fibroblasts cultured from three affected family members was studied. The stored lipid is triglyceride composed of an unremarkable
A five-year-old girl presented with congenital ichthyosis, hepatosplenomegaly, vacuolized granulocytes (Jordans' anomaly), and myopathy. Pathological, ultrastructural, and biochemical studies revealed nonlysosomal, multisystemic triglyceride storage. The cultured fibroblasts had increased uptake but
Ichthyosis and neutral lipid storage disease (INLSD) is a nonlysosomal, multisystemic, triglyceride storage disorder. It is characterized by nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NBCIE), leukocyte vacuoles, and variable involvement of the liver, muscles, eyes, and central nervous system.
Neutral lipid storage disease with ichthyosis (NLSDI) is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by accumulation of neutral lipids, in a wide variety of cells, by a still unknown mechanism. Previous studies have shown normal cholesterol content in NLSDI granulocytes, fibroblasts and skin
We investigated lipoprotein metabolism in 14 patients with recessive X-linked ichthyosis (RXLI), a metabolic disease characterized by scaly skin, corneal opacity and steroid sulfatase deficiency. Plasma total cholesterol (TC) levels ranged from normal to slightly low (mean +/- SD: 156 +/- 28 mg/dl).
An infant with phenotypic harlequin ichthyosis survived for nine months, then died a crib death. At autopsy, an enlarged, but structurally normal, thymus was found. Light microscopically, the epidermis showed massive hyperkeratosis and variable parakeratosis, and a stain for neutral fat was positive
To confirm reports that skin cancer can be prevented with retinoid treatment, a three-year controlled prospective study was conducted of oral isotretinoin in five patients with xeroderma pigmentosum who had a history of multiple cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas. Patients were treated
Triglyceride (TG) synthesis, storage, and degradation together constitute cytoplasmic TG metabolism (CTGM). CTGM is mostly studied in adipocytes, where starting from glycerol-3-phosphate and fatty acyl (FA)-coenzyme A (CoA), TGs are synthesized then stored in cytoplasmic lipid droplets. TG
A 26-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital with generalized hyperkeratosis associated with keratitis and a hearing defect. The patient was born from nonconsanguineous parents. Her skin was moderately hyperkeratotic at birth. During childhood, the thickness of the skin increased
