Ichthyosis Support Group Research Grant
 
Introduction

The Ichthyosis Support Group (ISG) was formed in 1997 by a group of individuals affected by ichthyosis to create a network of parents, sufferers and interested doctors and nurses.  We aim to promote research into the management of ichthyosis and to support organisations promoting research into ichthyosis.
