Rare Pediatric Genetic Case Report of X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Type 1
1Oral and Maxillofacial Diagnostic Sciences Department, College of Dentistry, Taibah University, Madinah, SAU.
Abstract:
Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare disorder that appears differently in clinical cases and can present with a variety of combinations and severities of abnormalities that can involve a variety of tissues. The disease might appear clinically as hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, or hypodontia, among other clinical manifestations. The patient, a five-year-old boy, was seen at the Taibah University Dental Clinic and was diagnosed with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia type 1 based on clinical radiographic and genetic findings. Although there is no base data for reporting this case, the present case presentation could alert dental practitioners and expand scientific database knowledge on the dental and/or oral characteristics of this abnormality.
