Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with lacrimal anomalies.

Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with lacrimal anomalies.

Ectodermal dysplasia and its related disorders may present with ocular symptoms due to involvement of the ectodermal components of the eye. This paper reports a case of congenital anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presenting to the ophthalmologist with epiphora due to lacrimal atresia. The embryonic origin of the lacrimal system suggests that lacrimal anomalies in association with ectodermal diso...

Anhidrotic cctodcrmal dysplasia (AED) is a rare disorder characterised by a constellation ofdefect' involving the teeth. skin and appendageal structures. We report a child who had typical lealllrcs of this disorder.

Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: autosomal dominant inheritance with palate and lip anomalies.

Ectodermal dysplasia involves faulty development of embryonic ectoderm and its subsequent derivatives. Cockayne (1933) described 200 defects of ectodermal origin. It has been suggested that cases fall into two clinical and genetical groups (Weech, 1929). The hidrotic form appears usually to be determined by an autosomal dominant gene and the anhidrotic (or hypohidrotic) form by an X-linked rece...

Hypohidrotic (anhidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia in female twins.

Autosomal recessive hereditary ectodermal dysplasia (HED) has not been described in sub-Saharan Africa. It is acknowledged to be rarer than the occasionally reported x-linked and autosomal dominant variants. We report a pair of Nigerian female twins with family history and clinical features suggestive of recessive HED, thereby showing the existence of this rare form in sub-Saharan Africa.
