Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors There are several different types of ectodermal dysplasia of which X-linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is the most common. 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 sweating . Affected adults are unable to tolerate a warm environment and require special measures to maintain a normal body temperature Mucus membrane involvement results in chronic nasal infections with foul-smelling discharge and increased respiratory infections. Hair may be absent or very scanty. The skin is thin with light pigmentation. Teeth develop abnormally and many teeth are missing.

Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Inheritance X-linked recessive Occurrence not really known may be as high as 7 in 10,000 ( The Encyclopedia of Birth Defects Description a group of disorders characterized by the absence of sweat glands, abnormal teeth, and hypotrichosis (less hair than normal) Gene located on the X chromosome, produces a 135 amino acid protein little else is known Why Do We Sweat? Background: This disorder can be used when discussing our bodies' cooling mechanisms. One interesting side note with this disorder is that women who are carriers for this often exhibit "Lyonization." This means that although they do not suffer all of the effects, they have a few of the traits. Carriers often have patchy areas where they do have sweat glands and other areas where they do not. These areas with sweat glands and without sweat glands appear in definite patterns. Generally they exhibit v-stripes across the back. One way to diagnose a carrier is to perform a sweat test on a suspected individuals back. If the sweat glands appeaar in definite striped patterns, then the individual is a carrier. Carriers may also exhibit missing or malformed teeth. Activity: Our body has a magnificent way to maintain our body temperature sweat. Have the class get into groups and discuss the ways sweat works to maintain body temperature. Ask students to hypothesize how they would be affected if they did not have sweat glands. Then introduce them to this disorder. Individuals with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia must be very careful not to overheat, since they have no way to cool themselves off naturally. Historically individuals with this disorder were known to jump into lakes or carry around buckets of cold water to pour over them in the event they began to overheat. There are still few treatments available to avoid overheating besides air conditioning and limited physical activity.

Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index E ectodermal dysplasia, hypohidrotic Search ectodermal dysplasia, hypohidrotic Hypohidrotic (anhidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia is a rare, genetically determined condition consisting of three elements: partial or complete absence of sweat glands, abnormal teeth, and sparse hair. Because it is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, it generally affects only males, but girls who are carriers may also show some signs of the syndrome to greater or lesser degrees. Affected children are unable to sweat. This means that they may experience sometimes mysterious episodes of high fever in warm environments, which makes the condition one to be considered during investigation of a case of fever of unknown origin. Hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (Clouston syndrome) is a variant condition, characterized by malformed or absent nails, sparse hair, and thickened palms and soles. It is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder. The teeth are usually normal, although some children have small teeth with weak enamel and numerous caries. Inflammation of the eyes and lids are common. Sweating is always normal. Some patients exhibit absence of eyebrows and lashes, and dark pigmentation over the knees, elbows, and knuckles.

57. Ectodermal Dysplasia/Types ectoderm. This leads me to believe that many if not all neurologicaldefects should be classed in the ectodermal dysplasia group. http://www.ectodermaldysplasia.ca/types.html

This is a topic that I have found difficult to assess. My original findings were that there were 2 types of Ectodermaal Dysplasia. Hypohidrotic (Anihidrotic) Ectodermal Dysplasia Hidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (Clouston Type) However I have not been able to find a clear dividing line between these 2 types. When I researched definitions on each I found that both were the same. Further research indicated that within these 2 types there were different syndromes. The number of syndromes is also questionable. From the information I have found (on and off the internet), the numer of suspected syndromes is between 120 and 150. Although at this time I cannot put a true number on it, from the possible combinations of affected ectodermal structures it is possible that the number of syndromes is somewhat higher then 150. It took a while to convince my own doctor of this fact, but when you take into concideration all the different defects that can occur on each structure and then combine that with the fact that not all defects manifest themself in each occurence, the number of possible combinations increases dramatically. In a large number of the different definitions I have found there is little or no mention of the brain or nervous system being involved yet parts of the brain and nervous system develop from the ectoderm. This leads me to believe that many if not all neurological defects should be classed in the ectodermal dysplasia group. Home About Me What Is Ectodermal Dysplasia?
