uhrad.com - Pediatric Imaging Teaching Files Case Fifty Eight - Ectodermal Dysplasia Click on Images for Enlarged View Clinical History: 2 year old male noted to have delayed/lack of eruptions of teeth and a sparse amount of hair. Findings: An AP and lateral view of the skull demonstrates absent teeth. The upper central incisors are separated and irregular in shape. The lateral view demonstrates protuberant lips. Diagnosis: Ectodermal dysplasia. Discussion: Ectodermal dysplasia is an x-linked recessive syndrome seen in approximately 1/10,000 to 1/100,000 live male births. Its clinical manifestations include hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, unusual facies and mucous gland deficiencies. The patients typically will have oligodontia or anodontia. Frontal bossing, a saddle-shaped nose, as well as protuberant lips and ears can often be seen. Due to mucous gland deficiencies, recurrent respiratory tract infections are common. These patients can also have hearing problems secondary to accumulation of wax in the external auditory canal, eczema, and deficiency of saliva leading to dental decay. Prenatal diagnosis can be made using DNA-based linkage analysis during the first trimester of pregnancy or direct histological analysis of fetal skin obtained by fetoscopy during the second trimester of pregnancy.

46. 1996.07.29 : Gene For Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Identified Of the more than 150 different forms of ectodermal dysplasia, mutations in the X As was noted by Darwin, the Xlinked form of ectodermal dysplasia is http://www.os.dhhs.gov/news/press/1996pres/960729.html

This is an archive page. The links are no longer being updated. Date: Monday, July 29, 1996 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Wayne Little (301)496-4261 Gene for Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Identified Still, little is known about what occurs at the molecular level to ultimately produce the unique clinical features of EDA. The name itself refers to the abnormal development (dysplasia) of tissues that are derived from ectoderm, the outermost of the three primary layers of the embryo from which is derived, among other structures, the skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, and teeth. The term "anhidrotic" refers to the underdevelopment or absence of sweat glands, a condition that can be life threatening because it prevents the body from cooling down during fevers or periods of excessive heat. Other features that affect the quality of life for these young children include baldness and often the need for dentures or dental implants to compensate for the absence of teeth. The investigators identified a gene within this region of the X chromosome that contains the molecular code to produce a 135-amino acid protein. This novel protein has a predicted structure compatible with a transmembrane molecule, a protein that is part of the cell membrane and falls within the category of receptors, growth factors, or adherence molecules. The protein was detected in fetal tissues and certain types of adult skin cells that are consistent with the pathology of EDA. The function of the protein remains unknown, but some exciting hints are provided by a strain of mouse called Tabby, named for its unusual pattern of hair markings. The mice have a mutation in the X chromosome region that is the mouse equivalent of the human EDA gene location. The mice are afflicted with some of the same symptoms that appear in humans, including missing sweat glands and abnormally shaped and/or missing teeth.

Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index E ectodermal dysplasia, hypohidrotic Search ectodermal dysplasia, hypohidrotic Hypohidrotic (anhidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia is a rare, genetically determined condition consisting of three elements: partial or complete absence of sweat glands, abnormal teeth, and sparse hair. Because it is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, it generally affects only males, but girls who are carriers may also show some signs of the syndrome to greater or lesser degrees. Affected children are unable to sweat. This means that they may experience sometimes mysterious episodes of high fever in warm environments, which makes the condition one to be considered during investigation of a case of fever of unknown origin. Hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (Clouston syndrome) is a variant condition, characterized by malformed or absent nails, sparse hair, and thickened palms and soles. It is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder. The teeth are usually normal, although some children have small teeth with weak enamel and numerous caries. Inflammation of the eyes and lids are common. Sweating is always normal. Some patients exhibit absence of eyebrows and lashes, and dark pigmentation over the knees, elbows, and knuckles.

ECT04 Home Conference Report Abstracts for oral presentations Abstracts for Oral Presentations The Impact of EDD/Hypodontia on the Child and Their Family Diana Perry (UK) Diana Perry knows only too well how Ectodermal Dysplasia impacts on a family. She not only discovered the problems her son had in the first year of his life were due to ED, but also that she too has ED. So how does ED impact on the child and the family? What about those who have lived the best part of their lives not knowing what was wrong with them? In her presentation Diana will try to convey some of the experiences she has gained through being a mother of two children with ED and from running the ED Society. Epidemiology and Signs and Symptoms of Ectodermal Dysplasia Hilde Nordgarden (Norway) Many signalling molecules are shared between different organs, and mutations in the encoding genes may affect more than one organ. The ectodermal dysplasias comprise a large group of conditions with developmental disturbances in two or more ectodermal tissues, in particular hair, teeth, nails and sweat glands. The conditions can be classified in 11 subgroups according to the combination of affected organs and almost 200 diagnoses have been described. The accepted classification is currently being challenged, based on new knowledge within molecular developmental biology. The ectodermal dysplasias are all rare. However, are dysplasias as a group rare?

ECT04 Home Conference Report Abstracts for oral presentations Ect04 marked the culmination of two years work for the Eastman Hypodontia Team and was attended by delegates from over twenty countries including Australia, Hong Kong, Russia, the USA and Israel. Delegates came from a variety of backgrounds, medical, scientific and dental, a n d included representatives of patient support groups. The conference had three themes; Impacts, Management and The Future. The Eastman Hypodontia Team Back Row Left to Right: Ken Hemmings, Steve Jones, John Hobkirk, and Jane Goodman. The near capacity conference began with a session on Impacts opened effectively by Diana Perry, founder of the UK's ED Society, who graphically described the impact of Ectodermal Dysplasias (EDs) on the family. This was followed by presentations from Hilde Nordgarden, a specialist at the TAKO Centre in Oslo, Amy Silver, a clinical psychologist, and David Atherton, a paediatric dermatologist from Great Ormond Street Hospital. While missing or malformed teeth are the most common features of the Ectodermal Dysplasias (EDs), the skin, sweat glands, nails and hair may also be affected. There is also uncertainty about other signs and symptoms and some speakers stressed the need for clearer diagnostic criteria.

Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Inheritance X-linked recessive Occurrence not really known may be as high as 7 in 10,000 ( The Encyclopedia of Birth Defects Description a group of disorders characterized by the absence of sweat glands, abnormal teeth, and hypotrichosis (less hair than normal) Gene located on the X chromosome, produces a 135 amino acid protein little else is known Why Do We Sweat? Background: This disorder can be used when discussing our bodies' cooling mechanisms. One interesting side note with this disorder is that women who are carriers for this often exhibit "Lyonization." This means that although they do not suffer all of the effects, they have a few of the traits. Carriers often have patchy areas where they do have sweat glands and other areas where they do not. These areas with sweat glands and without sweat glands appear in definite patterns. Generally they exhibit v-stripes across the back. One way to diagnose a carrier is to perform a sweat test on a suspected individuals back. If the sweat glands appeaar in definite striped patterns, then the individual is a carrier. Carriers may also exhibit missing or malformed teeth. Activity: Our body has a magnificent way to maintain our body temperature sweat. Have the class get into groups and discuss the ways sweat works to maintain body temperature. Ask students to hypothesize how they would be affected if they did not have sweat glands. Then introduce them to this disorder. Individuals with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia must be very careful not to overheat, since they have no way to cool themselves off naturally. Historically individuals with this disorder were known to jump into lakes or carry around buckets of cold water to pour over them in the event they began to overheat. There are still few treatments available to avoid overheating besides air conditioning and limited physical activity.
