A retrospective survey was performed between 1983 and 1995 to determine the frequency of steroid sulfatase (STS) deficiency in Hiroshima. Males with ichthyosis were diagnosed enzymatically. During 1979-95 in Hiroshima Prefecture, 275,943 males were born and 28 had STS deficiency. The observed frequency of STS deficiency was 1 per 9855 males. Therefore, STS deficiency is fairly prevalent in Japan.
1983年至1995年间进行了一项回顾性调查，以确定广岛地区类固醇硫酸酯酶（STS）缺乏症的发病率。对患有鱼鳞病的男性进行酶学诊断。1979年至1995年期间，广岛县有275,943名男性出生，其中28名患有STS缺乏症。观察到的STS缺乏症发病率为每9855名男性中有1例。因此，STS缺乏症在日本相当普遍。
