Tay syndrome or trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma and brittle sulphur-deficient hair. Other features include short stature, intellectual impairment, photosensitivity and multiple defects affecting organs mainly derived from neuroectoderm. Till date only less than 110 cases of Tay syndrome have been reported in literature worldwide and there are no cases of siblings with Tay syndrome reported in India till date.
