  Congenital sensorineural hearing loss is generally severe and bilateral. The noncutaneous features include bilateral neurosensory hearing impairment, which starts at birth; vascularizing keratitis often develops later in the course. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

• Normal Hearing

  The absence of these channels prevents potassium flux between cells of the inner ear, a process necessary for normal hearing. Clinical picture and genetic testing (Cx26 test). [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

  This conversion is essential for normal hearing. In addition, connexin 26 may be involved in the maturation of certain cells in the cochlea. Connexin 26 also plays a role in the growth and maturation of the outermost layer of skin (the epidermis). [medlineplus.gov]

• Blepharitis

  Eye lesions are progressive and may include blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, corneal epithelial defects, scarring, and neovascularization, causing progressive decline of visual acuity and eventually leading to blindness (vascularizing keratitis [dermatologyadvisor.com]

• Hyperkeratosis

  Typical skin changes gradually develop during infancy and include linear and spiny hyperkeratosis of the flexures, and ichthyosis-hystrix-like scaling on the limbs [4]. Scattered follicular hyperkeratosis appears on the trunk. [escholarship.org]

  Similarly affected patients described in the literature have the following features in common: (1) a distinctive ichthyosis characterized by a fine dry scale, follicular hyperkeratotic spines, and a reticulated pattern of hyperkeratosis on the palms and [jamanetwork.com]

  Systemic retinoids reduce the hyperkeratosis but do not affect the underlying disease mechanism. They may, however, be a good choice to prevent skin cancer. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

  Keratitis ichthyosis deafness (KID) syndrome Skin lesions in keratitis ichthyosis deafness (KID) syndrome extend to the rest of the head and lead to alpecia and hyperkeratosis. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

  The dermatologic features associated with deafness and GJB2 mutations are also variable: in Vöhwinkel syndrome there is diffuse honeycomb hyperkeratosis of palms and soles with typical starfish keratoses on the dorsum. [genedx.com]

• Alopecia

  The skin lesions, described as erythrokeratoderma occurs occasionally with scarring alopecia and are predominantly on the face, palms and soles, with a typical reticulated pattern. [odermatol.com]

  Alopecia may be present at birth. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

  Other features include palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, nail dystrophy, and alopecia (ranging from sparse hair to alopecia totalis) [6]. About half of the patients have sparse scalp hair and sparse or often absent eyebrows and eyelashes [7]. [escholarship.org]

  Most patients have partial alopecia, fragile and malformed nails, and small, malformed teeth. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

  Sparse hair or areas of baldness (alopecia) are relatively common, while a complete lack of hair is rare. [rarediseases.org]

• Follicular Plugging

  This correlation could be explained by the hyperproliferative state of the epidermis, which occurs in KID syndrome and may favor follicular plugging. [karger.com]

  That means that each individual affected with the disease will have one abnormal gene for the disease and one normal gene. When, by chance, the abnormal gene copy is passed on to the offspring, the child will be affected. [rarediseases.org]

• Dry, Scaly Skin

  The skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet and the nails may be affected. KID syndrome belongs to a group of skin disorders marked by dry, scaly skin known as the ichthyoses. KID syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. [rarediseases.org]

DISCUSSION Due to its congenital character, treatment of KID syndrome is very difficult and only supportive. Unfortunately, due to it’s severity, skin changes are very resistant to the topical treatment with keratolytic preparations. [odermatol.com]
