IBIDS syndrome (also known as "Sulfur-deficient brittle hair syndrome," "Trichothiodystrophy," "Tay's syndrome," and "Trichothiodystrophy with ichthyosis") was first described by Tay in 1971, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a congential ichthyosiform erythroderma, growth and mental retardation, progeria-like facies, and brittle hair. The association of ichthyosis, brittle hair, intellectual impairment, decreased fertility, and short stature has been given the acronym IBIDS syndrome. In some cases, it can be diagnosed prenatally.
