Ichthyosis, petechiae, and arthrogryposis in a neonate

Le résumé fourni par la source

Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in glucocerebrosidase. This enzyme deficiency leads to the accumulation of toxic metabolites in various organs. Multiple subtypes of this disease have been described; however, the perinatal-lethal form is extremely rare and challenging to diagnose. We present a case of a newborn girl with ichthyosis, petechiae, and arthrogryposis, later found to be homozygous for a pathogenic variant of the glucocerebrosidase gene. This case highlights the potential role of dermatologists in the recognition of this rare disease.
