Netherton Syndrome (NS) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Netherton syndrome (NS) is a multisystemic genetic disease characterized by a triad of clinical manifestations: congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, immune dysregulation, and hair shaft abnormalities. There are currently no specific therapies accessible for patients with NS due to the disease's complex pathogenesis. It is characterized by a triad of congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE) or ichthyosis linearis circumflexa(ILC), hair shaft abnormalities, and atopic diathesis. Mutations in the serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 5 (SPINK5) gene, which encodes lymphoepithelial Kazal-type-related inhibitor (LEKTI), are responsible for NS. LEKTI is expressed in hair follicles and the granular layer of the epidermis. LEKTI deficiencies or abnormalities cause premature stratum corneum detachment and a defect in skin barrier function resulting from excessive serine protease activity. The phenotypic manifestations of NS vary widely like Bamboo hair (trichorrhexis invaginata), ichth...
