Abstract excerpt
The hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasias (HED) belong to a large and heterogeneous nosological group of polymalfomative syndromes characterized by dystrophy or agenesis of ectodermal derivatives. Molecular etiologies of HED consist of mutations of the genes involved in the Ectodysplasin (EDA)-NF-kappaB pathway. Besides the classic ectodermal signs, craniofacial and bone manifestations are associated with the...
