OMIM 601675

IBIDS syndrome, also known as trichothiodystrophy (TTD), photosynthetic trichthiodystrophy (TTDP), trichothiodystrophy with congenital ichthyosis, Tay syndrome or sulfur-deficient brittle hair syndrome,[1][2][3]:485 was first described by Tay in 1971. It is an autosomal recessive[4] congenital skin disease[5] characterized by a congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, growth and mental retardation, progeria-like facies, and brittle hair.[3] The association of ichthyosis, brittle hair, intellectual impairment, decreased fertility, and short stature has been given the acronym IBIDS syndrome.[3] In some cases, it can be diagnosed prenatally.[6]

It is associated with ERCC2 and ERCC3.[1]

Eponym

It is named after Dr. Tay Chong Hai, a Singaporean doctor who discovered and subsequently published a paper on it in 1971.[7] Dr. Tay is the first doctor in South East Asia to be honored by having a disease named after him. Tay syndrome should not be confused with the Tay-Sachs disease.
