Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is an X-linked recessive disorder, characterised by abnormally developed ectodermal tissues (sweat glands, enamel, hair, nails). HED is caused by mutations of the EDA1 gene (Xq13.1) which codes for ectodysplasin A, a transmembrane signalling protein, which plays a significant role in ectodermal differentiation. Here we present a case of prenatal testing for...
