Preferred Label : Trichodental dysplasia;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : Salinas and Spector (1980) reported 2 pedigrees in which an association of hypodontia
and abnormal hair was found in 10 persons. Autosomal dominant inheritance of the disorder
was confirmed in 2 other families (Kersey, 1987; Eteson and Clark, 1989). Missing
teeth, peg-shaped incisors, and shell teeth were the most common dental abnormalities.
The hair in most patients was fine, sparse, dull, and slow growing. There was considerable
intra- and interfamilial variability. Giannotti et al. (1995) described a sporadic
case of trichodental dysplasia in an Italian girl who also had mild microcephaly and
mental retardation. *FIELD* RF 1. Eteson, D. J.; Clark, R. D.: A new autosomal dominant
