A form of autosomal recessive neutral lipid storage disease characterized by the accumulation of lipid vacuoles in granulocytes (so-called Jordan's anomaly) and a variety of other cell types. Clinically, the skin symptoms with ichthyosiform erythroderma and scaling are initially in the foreground. Later, steatosis hepatis, hepatomegaly and muscle weakness develop. Other manifestations include growth delay, cataracts, sensorineural hearing loss, intellectual disability and bowel disease.
