Abstract:Ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia (IFAP) syndrome is a rare genodermatosis characterized by a classic triad of follicular ichthyosis, alopecia, and photophobia. We report a Chinese patient displaying features of IFAP triad along with painful palmoplantar keratoderma, recurrent infections, periorificial keratotic plaques, nail dystrophy, and pachyonychia. Whole‐exome sequencing revealed an intronic variant (NM_015884.3: exon7:c.970+5G>A) in the gene MBTPS2. Sanger sequencing confirmed that t… Show more
