Ectodermal Dysplasia: Types, Symptoms Treatment - Cleveland Clinic The type of ectodermal dysplasia you have depends on which genes have variations (and what kind of variations they have) Often, the condition runs in biological families In rare cases, the genetic variation happens without any history of ectodermal dysplasia in your family
Top 10* Most Common Ectodermal Dysplasias - NFED Clouston syndrome is frequently called hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia because affected individuals sweat normally and exhibit no heat intolerance Clouston syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder
Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Clefting Syndrome (EEC) Dental abnormalities including absence of teeth, absent or blocked tear ducts, light sensitivity (photophobia) and kidney abnormalities are common — individuals affected by EEC generally experience some but not all of these abnormalities
What Is EEC Syndrome? A Guide to this Genetic Condition The presence of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia manifestations, and cleft lip or palate often prompts suspicion Clinical assessments may involve X-rays of the limbs and jaw to evaluate bone abnormalities, and depending on the associated features, a kidney ultrasound or ophthalmologic examinations may be performed
