Is Single Umbilical Artery During Pregnancy Linked To Icthyosis?
I need to know if Single Umbilical Artery is related to x-linked icthyosis. I have three children, two boys with the disorder. My sister is 4 1/2 months pregnant and recent ultrasound said that she only had one artery in her umbilical cord

Hi
Its quite common to have fears if any of family member suffering with congenital disorders.i can understand your tension.Single umbulical artery is usually associated with cardiac , renal ,skeltal and intestinal problems in baby.there is no studied data regarding association of icthyosis with it.as for i know its not related.nothing to worry.go for anomalous scan at 22wks.its important to evaluate for heart ,kidneys ,bones & intestines.
Thank you
With best regards
