GD is a glycolipid storage disease leading to widely variable phenotypes such as hydrops fetalis, congenital ichthyosis, hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, anemia, muscular hypotonia, seizures, and respiratory failure. Our patient died due to respiratory failure at 78 days of postnatal age. Molecular genetic tests showed homozygous mutation c.[1505G&gt;A];[1505G&gt;A] of the β-glucocerebrosidase gene. We would like to focus the attention on the fact that perinatal-lethal GD can be the underlying cause of congenital ichthyosis.<br />}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine (JPNIM)}, author={Baskin, Kubra and Aynaci, Eser and Onay Surmeli, Ozge and Bas, M.
