- Abstract
X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED), the most common type of ectodermal dysplasia, is caused by EDA gene mutations. Reduced sweating contributes substantially to XLHED associated morbidity and mortality. To characterise the genotype-phenotype relationship, sweat gland function was assessed non-invasively in XLHED patients and healthy controls.
