Description : Some ectodermal dysplasias are here classified as congenital disorders characterized
by abnormal development in 2 or more ectodermal structures (hair, nails, teeth, and
sweat glands) without other systemic findings. Hypohidrotic, or anhidrotic, ectodermal
dysplasia is characterized by a triad of signs comprising sparse hair (hypotrichosis),
abnormal or missing teeth (anodontia or hypodontia), and inability to sweat (anhidrosis
or hypohidrosis). Typical clinical manifestations also include dryness of the skin,
eyes, airways, and mucous membranes presumably due to the defective development of
several exocrine glands. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia can be associated with
dysmorphic features (forehead bumps, rings under the eyes, everted nose, and prominent
lips) and occasionally with absent nipples (summary by Cluzeau et al., 2011). For
a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of hypohidrotic/anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia,
see 305100.;
