Identification of novel FATP4 mutations in a Japanese patient with ichthyosis prematurity syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by prematurity, a thick caseous scale at birth and lifelong atopic diathesis. Here, we describe the first Japanese case of IPS and report novel compound heterozygous mutations (p.C403Y and p.R510H) in fatty acid transport protein 4 (FATP4). She is the first reported patient of Asian origin, entirely distinct from the Scandinavian population, in whom the heterozygote carrier frequency is very high.
