Resulting publications were reviewed for epidemiology, genetic testing, operative treatment and morbidity. Reference lists were screened for additional cases. [link.springer.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Prognosis is variable. Some patients die in the neonatal period while others have normal life expectancy. However, in most patients, progressive loss of vision leads to loss of autonomy. [orpha.net]
Depending upon how extensive the organ involvement, the prognosis is usually guarded and patients may not live beyond early childhood. It is uncertain if IFAP refers to a single disorder or if two disorders are involved (see Genetics). [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Prognosis Life expectancy in patients with IFAP syndrome can vary from death in the neonatal period to normal surviving. The oldest reported patient was 33 years old [ 10 ]. Cardiopulmonary complications were the main cause of death. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Etiology
Etiology The disorder is caused by mutations in the MBTPS2 gene (Xp22.12-p22.11) leading to impaired cholesterol homeostasis and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology Prevalence is unknown. Approximately 40 cases have been reported to date. IFAP primarily affects male subjects. Female carriers may develop some clinical features. [orpha.net]
Resulting publications were reviewed for epidemiology, genetic testing, operative treatment and morbidity. Reference lists were screened for additional cases. [link.springer.com]
On the basis of clinical manifestations, epidemiologic characteristics, and the presence of additional malformations, Yang et al. (1992) concluded that omphalocele and gastroschisis are casually and pathogenetically distinct abdominal wall defects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology The association of ichthyosis follicularis, atrichia, and photophobia was first reported as a syndrome by MacLeod in 1909 in three boys [ 1 ]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
