dc.description.abstract | Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is defined as a rare hereditary disorder involving two or more of the ectodermal
structures, which include the skin, hair, nails, teeth, and sweat glands. The two most common forms of the
disease are hypohidrotic/anhidrotic ED (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) and hidrotic ED (Clouston’s
syndrome). The incidence of ED is 1 in 100,000 live births with the aetiology being attributed to a gene
mutation.
