PIBIDS: photosensitivity, ichthyosis, brittle hair, infertility, developmental delay, short stature
Obligatory finding in all types is short, unruly , fragile scalp/eyebrow/eyelash hair due to abnormally low Sulfur content ie. deficient cysteine or methionine

Light microscopy of hair shaft demonstrates transverse fractures (trichoschisis) in conjunction with irregular surface and diameter
Occasionally a nodal appearance similar to trichorrhexis nodosa or 180 degree twists as in pili torti may be observed
Polarising light microscopy is gold standard to detect “tiger tail” bands

If ichthyosis is present, histopathology similar to ichthyosis vulgaris can be seen
- Molecular testing
Hair Sulfur content can be semi quantitatively analysed by scanning electron microscopy
