    Glossary IFAP Syndrome

    rare genetic disorder causing scaly skin, no hair, light sensitivity

    IFAP Syndrome, also known as Ichthyosis Follicularis Atrichia Photophobia Syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by three main features: ichthyosis follicularis (a skin condition causing dry, scaly skin), atrichia (absence of hair), and photophobia (sensitivity to light). It is typically inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, meaning it primarily affects males, and is caused by mutations in the MBTPS2 gene.
