Abstract
We describe a rare syndrome in a Finnish family, in which the father and his two sons are congenitally deaf and also exhibit corneal vascularization, and hyperkeratosis of the skin of the palms, soles, elbows and knees. In addition, all 3 suffer from fungal infections of the skin and nails. We also describe a fourth, sporadic case of a 9-year-old year with the same disease. The KID(k=keratitis, i=ichthyosis, d=deafness) syndrome in an ectodermal dysplasia that probably arises through mutations, and is transmitted as an autosomal dominant in the family described by us.
