Abstract excerpt
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA) has been localised to the q12-q13.1 region of the X chromosome by both physical and genetic mapping methods. Although linkage analysis using closely linked flanking markers can clarify the carrier status for many females at risk for the disorder, knowledge of the origin of the mutation in instances of possible de novo mutation is critical for accurate genetic counselling of...
