This condition affects only males. An autosomal dominant form exists in which females and males are equally affected and is symptomatically almost identical to the X-linked form of the disease. Multiple genes have been discovered to cause ectodermal dysplasias. Ectodermal dysplasia may affect, to varying degrees, all of the structures associated with the development of the skin. Absent or decreased sweating in people with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is caused by absence of sweat glands. Affected children have difficulty controlling fevers and mild illness may produce extremely high fevers, because of absent temperature regulation by

27. 1996.07.29 : Gene For Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Identified Gene for Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia Identified. As was noted by Darwin, the Xlinked form of ectodermal dysplasia is associated with male children. http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/1996pres/960729.html

Date: Monday, July 29, 1996 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Wayne Little (301)496-4261 Gene for Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Identified Still, little is known about what occurs at the molecular level to ultimately produce the unique clinical features of EDA. The name itself refers to the abnormal development (dysplasia) of tissues that are derived from ectoderm, the outermost of the three primary layers of the embryo from which is derived, among other structures, the skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, and teeth. The term "anhidrotic" refers to the underdevelopment or absence of sweat glands, a condition that can be life threatening because it prevents the body from cooling down during fevers or periods of excessive heat. Other features that affect the quality of life for these young children include baldness and often the need for dentures or dental implants to compensate for the absence of teeth. The investigators identified a gene within this region of the X chromosome that contains the molecular code to produce a 135-amino acid protein. This novel protein has a predicted structure compatible with a transmembrane molecule, a protein that is part of the cell membrane and falls within the category of receptors, growth factors, or adherence molecules. The protein was detected in fetal tissues and certain types of adult skin cells that are consistent with the pathology of EDA. The function of the protein remains unknown, but some exciting hints are provided by a strain of mouse called Tabby, named for its unusual pattern of hair markings. The mice have a mutation in the X chromosome region that is the mouse equivalent of the human EDA gene location. The mice are afflicted with some of the same symptoms that appear in humans, including missing sweat glands and abnormally shaped and/or missing teeth.

Our son was X-rayed, and they found that about six (permanent teeth) were visible. He is almost four years old. Is it possible that more teeth will appear later on?

Other Medical More about Ectodermal Dysplasia CAUSE OF ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA: Ectodermal Dysplasia is caused by a single abnormal gene or pair of abnormal genes. The chance for parents to have an affected child depends on the type of Ectodermal Dysplasia that exists in the family. In some families the mistake in the gene was a fresh mistake (mutation) in their child and the likelihood of another child being affected is very low. There are other families however that have an inherited form of Ectodermal Dysplasia with recurrence risk ranging from 25% to 50%. SWEAT GLANDS: Diminished or absent sweating is a common problem. The sweat glands are absent, reduced in number, or may not function normally. Reduced sweating may result in very high fevers, because the body regulates its temperature by sweating. Often, the first clue that the sweat glands are absent or are not functioning normally is an elevated temperature. Elevations in body temperature are often caused by high environmental temperatures, excessive

ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA - A hereditary condition (most often x linked) that is characterized by the abnormal development of skin, absence of sweat glands dry eyes , and abnormal development of teeth. Symptoms include absent teeth, peg teeth, inability to sweat, thin skin, and heat intolerance. Mucous membrane involvement may result in a foul-smelling nasal discharge. The inability to sweat leads to the inability to maintain normal body temperature in a warm environment. Some may exhibit fevers and will require artificial cooling.

Ectodermal Dysplasia What is Ectodermal Dysplasia? The ectodermal dysplasias (ED) are a group of genetic disorders which are identified by the absence or deficient function of at least two derivatives (i.e, teeth, hair, nails, sweat glands) of the ectoderm. At least 150 different forms of ED have been identified. Charles Darwin first identified ED in the 1860s. How does ED affect persons physically? Researchers estimate 23% of people affected by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, the most common form, are not expected to survive their infancy if the condition goes undiagnoses. Individuals affected by ED have two or more of the following symptoms: •absence of sweat glands •malformed finger and/or toe nails •multiple missing teeth •sparse hair, eyelashes and brows In addition to the above symptoms, they may also have.. •cleft lip and palate •deficient tears and saliva •frequent respiratory infections •hearing or sight defects •missing fingers or toes •poorly functioning mucous membranes •problems with immune system •other abnormalities of the ectoderm What causes Ectodermal Dysplasia?
