Harlequin itchycytosis is a severe genetic disorder that mainly affects the skin. The newborn infant is covered with plates of thick skin that crack and split apart. The thick plates can pull at gestures distort facial features and can restrict breathing and eating. Mutations in the ABCA12 gene cause harlequin ichthyosis.
