IBIDS syndrome (also known as “Trichothiodystrophy,” and “Tay’s syndrome”[1]:485 ) 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.[1]:501 The association of ichthyosis, brittle hair, intellectual impairment, decreased fertility, and short stature has been given the acronym IBIDS syndrome.[1]:501 In some cases, it can be diagnosed prenatally.[2]
It is named after Dr. Tay Chong Hai, a Singaporean doctor who discovered and subsequently published a paper on it in 1971.[3] Dr. Tay is the first doctor in South East Asia to be honoured by having a disease named after him. The Tay syndrome should not be confused with the Tay-Sachs disease.[citation needed]
