Article Abstract
Annular epidermolytic ichthyosis (AEI; Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [OMIM]# 607602) is a rare subtype of epidermolytic ichthyosis that is characterized by polycyclic, migratory erythematous and scaly plaques. It typically results from dominant mutations in the keratin 1 or keratin 10 genes. We present the case of a 5-year-old girl who developed intermittent eruptions of pink, round, scaly, migratory plaques with palmoplantar keratoderma and was originally diagnosed with erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva (EKVP). Genetic analysis revealed a c.1436T>C transition mutation in the keratin 1 gene, and histopathology showed epidermolysis and hyperkeratosis, confirming the diagnosis of AEI.

Inherited ichthyosis comprises a spectrum of genetic disorders related to over 50 pathogenic genes. However, there are limited data summarizing the clinical and molecular characteristics of Chinese patients. To broaden the knowledge of clinical and genetic characteristics of inherited ichthyosis and to optimize disease diagnosis and therapies, cases diagnosed with inherited ichthyosis in 1 tertiary centre from 2019 to 2023 were collected, excluding ichthyosis vulgaris and X-linked recessive ichthyosis, genomic sequencing was then performed, and clinical details of the patients were assessed.

Ichthyoses, a group of skin cornification disorders caused by protein and lipid abnormalities that disrupt epidermal functions, are mainly characterized by generalized scaling. This study is the first to report the use of Vunakizumab, China's first self-developed anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody, in treating ichthyosis. We presented a case of a 4-year-old boy with epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI) due to a gene mutation.

Epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI) is a genetic skin disorder caused by mutations in the KRT1 and KRT10 genes, leading to severe skin abnormalities and inflammation. Current treatment options are limited, emphasizing the need for pathogenesis-based therapies. This study investigates the role of T helper type 17 (T17) inflammatory responses in EI and explores the mechanisms underlying these responses.
