Summary

This study looks at skin and blood samples from people with ichthyosis, a genetic condition causing dry, scaly skin. Researchers want to find specific markers (biomarkers) that can help explain the disease better. The goal is to gather knowledge that could lead to new treatments in the future. About 200 people aged 1 to 60 with ichthyosis or healthy skin will take part.
