Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness Syndrome, Atypical Connexin Gjb2 Gene Mutation, And Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma: More Than A Random Association?

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by skin lesions, neurosensorial hypoacusia, and keratitis, usually due to the c.148G -> A mutation involving the connexin 26 gene. We report on a KID patient who showed the atypical c. 101T -> C mutation and developed a T-cell lymphoma so far never described in this group of patients.
