We report two cases of rickets in male siblings of a family secondary to a disorder of skin keratinisation, lamellar ichthyosis. Nine years old male child presented with knock knee and generalised scaling of skin all over body. His 6 year old younger sibling also had scaling all over body with genu valgus deformity. Clinical, laboratory, radiological and histopathological investigations confirmed diagnosis of rickets with lamellar ichthyosis. Both children were treated for rickets with parental vitamin D3 followed by daily calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
