Title: Hypohidrotic (anhidrotic) ectodermal dysplasia in female twins. Author: Ogunrinde GO, Zubair RO, Ajike SO, Ige SO. Journal: Niger J Clin Pract; 2012; 15(1):98-100. PubMed ID: 22437101.

It is acknowledged to be rarer than the occasionally reported x-linked and autosomal dominant variants. We report a pair of Nigerian female twins with family history and clinical features suggestive of recessive HED, thereby showing the existence of this rare form in sub-Saharan Africa.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
