Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main endpoint will be to create an overview of the relative presence of the different bacterial genera in affected and non-affected skin of patients with XRI and ARCI. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary parameters are: 1) Overview of the different bacterial genera in XRI and ARCI, and in different clinical phenotypes of ARCI. (2) Skin microbiota composition of XRI and ARCI patients compared with healthy individuals and patients with AE and/or IV. (3) Identification and isolation of specific clinical XRI and ARCI bacterial species for future follow-up studies regarding the pathogenesis of ichthyosis. | — |
