چکیده

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia has been mapped to Xq11-q13 by linkage studies and by a translocation in a manifesting female. We report a family with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in which the disease did not segregate with this region of the X chromosome as expected. Ten DNA probes which are localised between Xp11 and Xq22 were used in the investigation. The difficulties in diagnosing the carrier state in this condition and the possibility of non-allelic heterogeneity are discussed.

Autosomal Recessive Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Caused by a Novel Mutation in EDAR Gene

Backgrounds: Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic disorder, distinguished by hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, and hypodontia. HDE can be inherited in X-linked recessive manner as a result of mutations in the ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene as well as autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive manners both of them caused by mutations in EDA receptor (EDAR) and EDAR-associated death d...

A novel EDA gene mutation in a Spanish family with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) is characterized by abnormal development of the hair, teeth, and sweat glands. It is caused by mutations in the EDA gene, which maps to the X chromosome and encodes a protein called ectodysplasin-A, a member of the tumor necrosis factor-related ligand family. Affected males typically exhibit all the typical features of HED, but heterozygous car...

Lung and eye involvement in X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia

Objective X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED; ectodysplasin deficiency) has been classically described as affecting hair, sweat glands and dentition. What may be underappreciated is the effect ectodysplasin deficiency has on glands surrounding the airways and eyes and the resulting chronic health issues. In this study, we evaluated respiratory and ocular symptoms in XLHED patients.

Clinical findings in mosaic carriers of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

BACKGROUND Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a severe developmental disorder in which nonallelic genetic heterogeneity has been demonstrated. Even though X-linked and autosomal recessive forms are phenotypically similar, identification of the way of transmission is mandatory to give reliable genetic counseling to the family and to address molecular studies. Complete examination of rela...

A dental approach to carrier screening in X linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

The frequency of carriers of X linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia among females with hypodontia of the permanent dentition (excluding third molars) could be as high as 1 in 500, and among females with deciduous hypodontia could be as high as 1 in 50. Since it may be possible to identify carriers form among female hypodontia cases in general by virtue of a reduced sweat pore count, the pot...
