The proband was a Japanese woman with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma
harboring a keratin 10 gene mutation M150T. DNA-based prenatal exclusion of bullous
congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma was successfully performed in her two consequent
pregnancies using chorionic villus samples at 10 to 11 weeks' gestation, several weeks
earlier than the previously reported cases.
