title: X-linked ichthyosis: increased blood cholesterol sulfate and electrophoretic mobility of low-density lipoprotein.
abstract: Plasma cholesterol sulfate concentration is increased in patients with recessive X-linked ichthyosis, a disease in which steroid sulfatase activity is absent. In these patients, cholesterol sulfate is found primarily in the low-density lipoprotein fraction of plasma, and the electrophoretic mobility of these lipoproteins is greatly increased.
