Non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, with ocular albinism and Noonan syndrome.

A 21-year-old woman presented with non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma; she was born a collodion baby. Associated features were ocular albinism, anterior segment dysgenesis of both eyes and Noonan syndrome. X-linked ichthyosis (steroid sulphatase deficiency) and X-linked ocular albinism have been mapped to the Xp22.3 region and cases have been reported with both conditions due to a partial short-arm deletion of the X chromosome. The ichthyosis and ocular albinism in the present case, however, are likely to be of the autosomal recessive type - a very rare association - and the combination with Noonan syndrome has not been reported previously.
