IBIDS syndrome (also known as "Sulfur-deficient brittle hair syndrome,"[1] "Trichothiodystrophy," "Tay's syndrome"[2]:485, and "Trichothiodystrophy with ichthyosis"[1]) was first described by Tay in 1971, an autosomal recessive disorder[3]:575 characterized by a congential ichthyosiform erythroderma, growth and mental retardation, progeria-like facies, and brittle hair.[2]:501 The association of ichthyosis, brittle hair, intellectual impairment, decreased fertility, and short stature has been given the acronym IBIDS syndrome.[2]:501 In some cases, it can be diagnosed prenatally.[4]

Eponym
It is named after Dr. Tay Chong Hai, a Singaporean doctor who discovered and subsequently published a paper on it in 1971.[5] Dr. Tay is the first doctor in South East Asia to be honored by having a disease named after him. Tay syndrome should not be confused with the Tay-Sachs disease.[citation needed]
