Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome

Keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome (also known as "Erythrokeratodermia progressiva Burns,"[1] "Ichthyosiform erythroderma, corneal involvement, and deafness," and "KID syndrome,") presents at birth/infancy and is characterized by progressive corneal opacification, either mild generalized hyperkeratosis or discrete erythematous plaques, and neurosensory deafness.[2]:483,513[3]:565

It is caused by a mutation in connexin 26.[4]
