dc.description.abstractThe ectodermal dysplasias represent a complex collection of congenital abnormalities of skin, hair, teeth, nail, and sweat gland development, many of which have overlapping clinical features. In this report, we describe a 7-year-old girl, born to clinically normal parents, with ankyloblepharon, cleft lip/palate and hair abnormalities, features resembling the autosomal dominant disorder, ankyloblepharon-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting (AEC) syndrome, which results from mutations in the sterile-alpha motif domain of the gene encoding the transcription factor, p63. However, direct sequencing of the p63 gene in this individual did not reveal any pathogenic sequence variants. Moreover, two of her paternal cousins were discovered to have similar congenital ectodermal anomalies, raising the alternative possibility of an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Furthermore, all affected individuals lacked a history of erosive scalp dermatitis that is usually characteristic of AEC syndrome. Instead, the scalp hair was coarse and wiry. In addition, another atypical feature, hypohidrosis, was present. Collectively, the clinical features also resembled Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome, Bowen-Armstrong syndrome and CHAND syndrome, but did not appear to fit neatly with any one particular disorder. This case highlights the difficulties in trying to classify the ectodermal dysplasia syndromes on clinical features alone.
