What is the Prognosis for Children with ABCA12 Mutations?
The prognosis varies depending on the severity of the condition. Children with Harlequin ichthyosis often face significant challenges and may have a shortened lifespan due to complications like infections and respiratory difficulties. However, with advances in neonatal care and early intervention, survival rates have improved. Children with Lamellar ichthyosis generally have a better prognosis but will require lifelong management of their skin condition.
