Abstract:
Harlequin ichthyosis is a rare and the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis. Although prenatal diagnosis is difficult for this disorder، recently، this obstacle has markedly improved with the use of DNA-based prenatal diagnosis. Here in، we presented a neonate with harlequin ichthyosis born by assisted reproductive technology (ART). In this case، the diagnosis of harlequin ichthyosis was not established by conventional prenatal screening.
