Bathing suit ichthyosis: a case report of a 13-year-old boy with unique clinical features and genetic insights from Syria.

Introduction: Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis comprises a group of disorders characterized by defects in skin barrier function, including subtypes such as bathing suit ichthyosis (BSI). This condition is linked to the temperature-sensitive variants in transglutaminase 1 (TGM1), leading to distinctive scaling patterns.
