Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the ectodysplasin-A (EDA) gene have been generally associated with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED). Recently, missense mutations in EDA have been reported to cause familial non-syndromic tooth agenesis. In this study, we report a novel EDA mutation in an Estonian family segregating non-syndromic tooth agenesis with variable expressivity. Affected individuals had no associated...
