We found several of the genes causing ARCI and other forms of ichthyosis to be induced during keratinocyte differentiation, i.e., TGM1, ALOXE3, ALOX12B, NIPAL4, CYP4F22, ABCA12, ABHD5, PNPLA1, ELOVL4, LIPN and CERS3 (see Table 2). The gene discussed is ABHD5; the disease is autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis.
