A novel homozygous mutation in PVRL4 causes ectodermal dysplasia-syndactyly syndrome 1.

Abstract excerpt

Ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) are a group of hereditary disorders defined by alterations in two or more ectodermal structures. One recently described rare entity is the autosomal recessive inherited ectodermal dysplasia-syndactyly syndrome 1 (EDSS1).
