Le Syndrome Kid ou Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness Syndrome: à propos d'un cas

Le syndrome KID est une anomalie congénitale rare des tissus d'origine ectodermique, caractérisé par une kératite bilatérale progressive accompagnée de néovaisseaux (keratitis), une atteinte cutanée érythro-kératodermique et/ou ichtyosique (ichtyosis) et une surdité de perception sévère (deafness).

GJB2: gap junction protein b2 KID: keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness INTRODUCTION Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare genodermatosis with approximately 100 published cases. Although it is classified as an autosomal dominant disorder, more than 90% of cases are caused by sporadic mutations predominantly in gap junction protein b2 (GJB2) on chromosome 13q11-q12 (OMIM 148210). GJB2 ...

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome in association with follicular occlusion triad.

Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of the ectoderm caused by mutations in the connexin-26 gene (GJB2) on chromosome 13q11-q12, giving rise to keratitis, erythrokeratoderma and neurosensory deafness. We report the case of a 31-year-old black male diagnosed as having KID syndrome. Sequencing analysis showed a heterozygous missense mutation D50N (148G > A) in the ...
