Article Abstract

Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis that is associated with mutations in the gene. Its onset occurs in early childhood and presents with the clinical triad of premature birth, thick caseous desquamating epidermis, and neonatal asphyxia. Here, we describe a prematurely born baby patient (33 weeks of gestation) with a homozygous variant at the initiation codon site (. A> , .) in the gene to raise awareness of this rare syndrome despite its distinctive features as we believe it is still underdiagnosed.

Background: Adverse events during pregnancy are implicated in increasing the risk of congenital malformations in offspring. Current research does not fully encompass the spectrum of adverse events nor the mechanisms by which they affect fetal development.

Methods: A two-sample and two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted to assess the association between adverse events during pregnancy and congenital malformations in offspring, and to investigate the mediating role of circulating metabolites in linking these adverse events to congenital malformations.

Background/objectives: Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder characterized by premature birth, neonatal respiratory distress, eosinophilia, and a thick, clay-like vernix at birth. This review aims to summarize the available reported cases of IPS, including genetic etiology, clinical features, management, and prognosis.

Methods: A search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL, from inception to September 3, 2024 using the search terms "IPS" or "ichthyosis congenita type IV".
