Abstract:
We report a sister and brother born to consanguineous parents presenting with severe hypodontia, fine hair, and onychodysplasia. Five other relatives are similarly affected. The comparison with other ectodermal dysplasias is presented and discussed. The possibility of a new autosomal recessive form of ectodermal dysplasia is raised.
