Ichthyosisis an infrequent clinical entity worldwide with an incidence of 1:600,000 births. It can be one of the two types: collodion baby and Harlequin fetus or malignant keratoma (most severe form). The clinical manifestations in either form are thick and hard skin with deep splits. Affected babies are born in a collodion membrane, a shiny waxy outer layer to the skin that is shed 10 - 14 day...

Neu-Laxova syndrome is a rare, lethal, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, central nervous system anomalies, skin findings, such as ichthyosis, edema, collodion baby and harlequin fetus, facial dysmorphic features, limb anomalies and genital hypoplasia. Although it is generally a lethal condition, cases of such patients who lived beyond 6 months and 10...

Exposure to contaminants other than petroleum hydrocarbons could confound interpretation of Exxon Valdez oil spill effects on biota at Prince William Sound, Alaska. Hence, we investigated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in blood of sea otters and harlequin ducks sampled during 1998. PCB concentrations characterized by lower chlorinated congeners were highest in sea otters from the unoiled area...

Harlequin syndrome, which is a rare disorder caused by dysfunction of the autonomic system, manifests as asymmetric facial flushing and sweating in response to heat, exercise, or emotional factors. The syndrome may be primary (idiopathic) with a benign course, or can occur secondary to structural abnormalities or iatrogenic factors. The precise mechanism underlying idiopathic harlequin syndrome...

 Harlequin ichthyosis is a rare and the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis. Although prenatal diagnosis is difficult for this disorder, recently, this obstacle has markedly improved with the use of DNA-based prenatal diagnosis. Here in, we presented a neonate with harlequin ichthyosis born by assisted reproductive technology (ART). In this case, the diagnosis of harlequin ichth...
