Mondo Description An X-linked multiple congenital anomaly disorder with variable severity. The classic triad, which defines IFAP, is ichthyosis follicularis, atrichia, and photophobia. Some patients have additional features, including mental retardation, brain anomalies, Hirschsprung disease, corneal opacifications, kidney dysplasia, cryptorchidism, cleft palate, and skeletal malformations, particularly of the vertebrae, which constitutes BRESHECK syndrome.

Uniprot Description A syndrome characterized by a peculiar triad of follicular ichthyosis, total or subtotal atrichia, and photophobia of varying degree. Histopathologically, the epidermal granular layer is generally well-preserved or thickened at the infundibulum. Hair follicles are poorly developed and tend to be surrounded by an inflammatory infiltrate. A subgroup of patients is described with lamellar rather than follicular ichthyosis. Non-consistent features may include growth and psychomotor retardation, aganglionic megacolon, seizures and nail dystrophy.
