  Netherton Syndrome

  By K. Roja

  Abstract: Netherton syndrome is a rarely found disorder which is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern which consists of ichtchyosiform dermatosis, hair shaft abnormalities (trichorrhexis invaginata), and atopic diathesis. This disease results due to a mutation on chromosome 5q32 in a gene named SPINK5 (serine protease inhibitor, kazal type-5) which encodes inhibitors of serine proteases known as LEKTI.
