Ectodermal dysplasias are a group of genetic disorders characterized by the abnormal development of the ectodermal-derived structures. X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, resulting from mutations in ED1 gene, is the most common form. The main purpose of this study was to characterize the phenotype spectrum in 45 males harboring ED1 mutations. The study showed that in addition to the involvment of the major ectodermal tissues, the majority of patients also have alterations of several minor ectodermal-derived structures. Characterising the clinical spectrum resulting from ED1 gene mutations improves diagnosis and can direct clinical care.

Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasias are a group of genetic disorders characterized by the abnormal development of the ectodermal-derived structures. X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, resulting from mutations in ED1 gene, is the most common form. The main purpose of this study was to characterize the phenotype spectrum in 45 males harboring ED1 mutations. The study showed that in addition to the involvment of the major ectodermal tissues, the majority of patients also have alterations of several minor ectodermal-derived structures. Characterising the clinical spectrum resulting from ED1 gene mutations improves diagnosis and can direct clinical care.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
