Ectodermal Dysplasia is a genetic condition that affects the development of the ectoderm, one of the three primary layers of cells in an embryo. This condition can lead to abnormalities in skin, hair, nails, teeth, and sweat glands. Individuals with Ectodermal Dysplasia may experience sparse hair, missing teeth, and reduced ability to sweat, which can affect their ability to regulate body temperature. The condition is often inherited in an X-linked manner, meaning it primarily affects males, while females can be carriers. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and genetic testing. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, such as dental care and skin protection, to improve quality of life.
