    GlossaryKID Syndrome

    rare genetic disorder causing eye, skin, and hearing issues

    KID Syndrome, or Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness Syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by three main features: eye problems (keratitis), skin abnormalities (ichthyosis), and hearing loss (deafness). It is typically caused by mutations in the GJB2 gene, which affects the protein connexin 26, crucial for cell communication in the skin and inner ear.
