ResumoThe keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is characterized by corneal, skin, and hearing abnormalities. KID has been linked to heterozygous dominant missense mutations in the GJB2 and GJB6 genes, encoding connexin26 and 30, respectively. In vitro evidence indicates that KID mutations lead to hyperactive (open) hemichannels, which in some cases is accompanied by abnormal function of gap junction channels. Transgenic mouse models expressing connexin26 KID mutations reproduce human phenotypes and present impaired epidermal calcium homeostasis and abnormal lipid composition of the stratum corneum affecting the water barrier. Here we have compiled relevant data regarding the KID syndrome and propose a mechanism for the epidermal aspects of the disease.

The keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (KID) is a genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, with few cases of recessive inheritance (Burns, 1915Burns F.

The keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness (KID) syndrome.Arch Dermatol. 1981; 117: 285-289Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Hallmarks of the KID syndrome include eye problems, skin abnormalities, and severe hearing loss. Keratitis is characterized by corneal inflammation and pain, increased light sensitivity (photophobia), corneal neovascularization, and conjunctivitis. In severe cases, patients may become blind (Orozco-Covarrubias et al., 2008Orozco-Covarrubias L. Sáez-de-Ocariz M. Durán-McKinster C. Ruiz-Maldonado R. KID Syndrome (keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness). Neurocutaneous disorders: phakomatoses & hamartoneoplasis syndromes. Springer, Wien New York2008: p. 625Google Scholar). The main skin abnormalities included thickening of soles and palms (palmoplantar keratoderma [PPK]), furfuraceous, or dry/scaling (ichthyosis) in reddish skin patches (erythrokeratoderma), which can be randomly distributed on the body but concentrated at neck and armpits (Caceres-Rios et al., 1996Caceres-Rios H.

Keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness (KID syndrome): review of the literature and proposal of a new terminology.Pediatr Dermatol. 1996; 13: 105-113Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Patients also tend to develop carcinomas (Mazereeuw-Hautier et al., 2007Mazereeuw-Hautier J. Bitoun E. Chevrant-Breton J. Man S.Y. Bodemer C.

This complex corneal/skin disease is accompanied by profound hearing loss (Caceres-Rios et al., 1996Caceres-Rios H. Tamayo-Sanchez L. Duran-Mckinster C. de la Luz Orozco M. Ruiz-Maldonado R.

Fortunately, this severe syndrome is very rare, with approximately 100 cases reported affecting females slightly more often than males. Because the KID syndrome influences several organs, patients require multidisciplinary treatment. Unfortunately, in severe cases, the syndrome leads to death in infants because of massive skin problems and breathing disorders (Meigh et al., 2014Meigh L. Hussain N. Mulkey D.K. Dale N.

The application of skin-softening emollients on moist skin is helpful only in some milder cases of the KID syndrome. Although most KID syndrome cases arise from sporadic mutations, some cases of familial transmission support autosomal dominant inheritance (Grob et al., 1987Grob J.J. Breton A. Bonafe J.L.

Springer, Wien New York2008: p. 625Google Scholar). The autosomal dominant form of KID has been linked to heterozygous missense mutations in the GJB2 gene, which codes for the connexin26 protein (Cx26; GJB2 13q11-12) (Richard et al., 2002Richard G. Rouan F. Willoughby C.E. Brown N. Chung P. Ryynanen M. et al.Missense mutations in GJB2 encoding connexin-26 cause the ectodermal dysplasia keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome.Am J Hum Genet. 2002; 70: 1341-1348Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (277) Google Scholar, van Steensel et al., 2002van Steensel M.A. van Geel M.

To date 14 different missense mutations (12 in GJB2; 2 in GJB6) have been identified in patients with KID (summarized in Table 1). Recently, a lethal form of KID was described, caused by reversion of the GJB2 nonsense mutation Y136X that has confined the effect of KID mutation G45E present in the same allele (Ogawa et al., 2014Ogawa Y. Takeichi T. Kono M. Hamajima N. Yamamoto T. Sugiura K. et al.Revertant mutation releases confined lethal mutation, opening Pandora's box: a novel genetic pathogenesis.PLoS Genet. 2014; 10: e1004276Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The authors estimated that there are approximately 11,000 individuals in the Japanese population that carry both the Cx26G45E mutation and the confining Y136X mutation. These tandem mutations can cause hearing loss in an autosomal recessive manner. Because most of these individuals are heterozygous for the tandem alleles, they do not suffer from hearing loss. The reason for the relatively frequent coexistence of both mutations is unknown, but it is possible that certain mutations may protect the apparition of a disease phenotype caused by mutations in the same or the other allele.Table 1Exogenous characterization of connexin channels from patients with KID or Clouston syndromeConnexinMutationHemichannel activityGap junction channel functionDiseaseClinical signs and symptomsCx26G11EIncreased Ca2+ uptake (Sánchez and Verselis, 2014Sánchez H.A.
