SUMMARY The BIDS syndrome comprises brittle hair, intellectual impairment, decreased fertility and short stature. Hair from patients with the BIDS syndrome shows disordered cuticular scales on scanning electronmicroscopy, alternate bright and dark banding on polarizing microscopy and low sulphur content. This report describes a case in which ichthyosis occurred in combination with the other features of the BIDS syndrome.
