  • Title: Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with palmoplantar keratoderma: an unusual presentation.
    Author: Sandhu K, Handa S, Kanwar AJ.
    Journal: Int J Dermatol; 2007 Jun; 46(6):631-3. PubMed ID: 17550568.
    Abstract:
    Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED), or Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome, was first described in 1848 by Thurnam. It is characterized by a partial or complete absence of sweat glands, hypotrichosis and hypodontia. The mode of inheritance is predominantly X-linked but an autosomal recessive pattern has also been observed.(2) Palmoplantar keratoderma is classically a component of hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia; however, we report herein two brothers who had classical manifestations of AED along with palmoplantar keratoderma.
