Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia.
- Authors
Mallory, Susan B.; Krafchik, Bernice L.
- Abstract
The most striking feature hypohidrotic ectoderma dysplasia is a marked decrease in sweating, which is associated with complete or almost complete deficiency of eccrine sweat glands. Hyperthermia and heat intolerance are experienced as a consequence of the inability to sweat and many affected individuals find that living in a cool climate is necessary for their comfort and well-being. Abnormalities of dentition vary, with some individuals having complete anodontia and others having severe hypodontia with conical teeth.
