Abstract
An epidemiological and neurological study of incontinentia pigmenti (IP) has been designed to test the hypotheses that the prevalence of the disease is higher, and the central nervous system (CNS) involvement significantly less frequent than previously thought. Obtained results would contribute to the understanding of reproductive pathology in mammals as well as the pathogenesis of IP, and ectodermal dysplasias in general. Dissection of male Str mouse embryos will be performed to get further insights in the mechanisms of lethality in mammals, and molecular genetic analysis of the Str - X chromosomal region will be conducted to narrow down the critical region of the gene.
