The parents are relative. The elder one who is a 16-yr old female suffers from sever ichthyosis, hypocalcemic tetany, sever mental and grown retardation, and hypogonadism. In the second patient a 9-yr old male the disease is milder, but generalized ichthyosis , mental retardation , hypogonadism is notifiable. He also is epileptic.
