A case of ichthyosis follicularis, atrichia and photophobia syndrome caused by a novel mutation in the MBTPS2 gene

A case of ichthyosis follicularis, alopecia and photophobia syndrome caused by a novel mutation c.1165C>T in the membrane-bound transcription factor protease site 2 (MBTPS2) gene was firstly reported. The proband presented with dry skin, congenital hairlessness, follicular keratotic papules, photophobia, epilepsy, and mental and motor retardation. Next-generation and Sanger sequencing analysis confirmed that the proband and his mother both had a c.1165C>T (p.pro389Ser) mutation in exon 9 of the MBTPS2 gene. According to the clinical manifestations of the patient and genetic characteristics of the MBTPS2 gene mutation, the patient was diagnosed with ichthyosis follicularis, alopecia and photophobia syndrome.
