Keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome (also known as "Erythrokeratodermia progressiva Burns," "Ichthyosiform erythroderma, corneal involvement, and deafness," and "KID syndrome,") presents at birth/infancy and is characterized by pregressive corneal opacification, either mild generalized hyperkeratosis or discrete erythematous plaques, and neurosensory deafness.

It is caused by a mutation in connexin 26.
