Abstract
Hypohidrotic/anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic disorder affecting ectodermal tissues mainly including hair, teeth, sweat glands, skin and nails. It exhibits X-linked (XLHED) as well as autosomal dominant or recessive modes of inheritance. In the first study conducted from Venezuela, we analyzed two XLHED cases exhibiting classical clinical symptoms and identified a novel hemizygous EDA deletion (c.111delG) in one and a novel missense likely pathogenic variant (p.Gly192Glu) in the other. The current study adds to the growing repertoire of disease-causing EDA mutations with important implications for genetic screening in the affected families.
