Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare genetic disorder that affects structures derived from the ectodermal germ layer. RESULTS: In this study, we analyzed the genetic profiles of 27 Korean patients with ED. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on 23 patients, and targeted panel sequencing was conducted on the remaining 4 patients. Among the patients in the cohort, 74.1% (20/27) tested positive for...
