The syndrome generally appears at birth or in infancy. A 12 year old female child born of consanguineous marriage presented with generalized periodic peeling of skin since 2 years of age. It was associated with itching, seasonal variations and erythema. The child also had mental retardation, attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome and ocular albinism. Her younger brother was also affected from the similar disease.
