Popis: Correspondence: Leonard M. Milstone, Department of Dermatology, Yale University School of Medicine, 501 LLCI, PO Box 208059, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA. E-mail: leonard.milstone@yale.edu Despite the rarity of the condition, the study of patients with ichthyosis has had a substantial impact in two areas: (i) fundamental discoveries about critical skin functions and (ii) development of treatments that also benefit patients with more common skin diseases. It is not unreasonable to anticipate that stimulation of research in ichthyosis will continue to impact the skin disease community in this fashion. The meeting was organized into five sessions with a mixture of formal presentations and lively discussion.
