Erythrokeratoderma variabilis is a rare genodermatosis conentionally regarded as autosomal dominant in inheritance. We describe the clinical features and light and electron microscopic findings in two affected siblings born to unaffected parents and suggest an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance in this famiiy. We also briefly review the literature on this disorder.
