Epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI),[a] is a rare and severe form of ichthyosis that affects around 1 in 300,000 people. It is caused by a genetic mutation, and thus cannot be completely cured without some form of gene therapy.
While some research has been done into possible gene therapy treatments, the work hasn't yet been successfully developed to the stage where it can be routinely given to patients.
The condition involves the clumping of keratin filaments.[5][6]: 562
