Peeling skin syndrome 1. Peeling skin syndrome 1 is caused by a genetic defect in the corneodesmosin (CDSN) gene. This gene localizes to the human epidermis and other epithelia. The protein experiences a chain of cleavages during corneocyte maturation. [6] Its symptoms include short stature, abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis, scaling skin ...
Scale forms on the skin surface in various disease settings, and is the result of abnormal desquamation. In pathologic desquamation, such as that seen in X-linked ichthyosis, the stratum corneum becomes thicker (hyperkeratosis), imparting a "dry" or scaly appearance to the skin, and instead of detaching as single cells, corneocytes are shed in clusters, which forms visible scales.

Ichthyosis (also named fish scale disease) [ 1] is a family of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, thickened, scaly skin. [ 2] The more than 20 types of ichthyosis range in severity of symptoms, outward appearance, underlying genetic cause and mode of inheritance (e.g., dominant, recessive, autosomal or X-linked ). [ 3]
Graft-versus-host disease ( GvHD) is a syndrome, characterized by inflammation in different organs. GvHD is commonly associated with bone marrow transplants and stem cell transplants . White blood cells of the donor's immune system which remain within the donated tissue (the graft) recognize the recipient (the host) as foreign (non-self).
