Oral and cephalometric characteristics of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: Case report / Características orales y cefalométricas de la displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica: Reporte de caso

ABSTRACT Hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a genetic disorder that affects the development of ectodermal tissues. This study reports a case of a 5-year-old male patient, with clinical extra and intraoral characteristics of HED. The intraoral clinical examination revealed a generalized absence of teeth, panoramic radiograph revealed the presence of permanent first molars with taurodontism, and confirm the oligodontia. Cephalometric analysis revealed a class III skeletal relationship, due to deficiency in the sagittal development of the maxilla and an anti-clockwise growth tendency. Alterations in craniofacial development require multidisciplinary treatment and long-term follow-up to monitor craniofacial growth.

RESUMEN La displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica (DEH) es un trastorno genético que afecta el desarrollo de los tejidos ectodérmicos. Se realiza el reporte de caso de un paciente masculino de 5 años, con características clínicas extra e intraorales de DEH. El examen clínico intraoral reveló una ausencia generalizada de dientes, la radiografía panorámica reveló la presencia de primeros molares permanentes con taurodontismo y confirmó la oligodoncia. El análisis cefalométrico reveló una relación esquelética de clase III, debido a la deficiencia en el desarrollo sagital del maxilar y una tendencia de crecimiento en sentido antihorario. Las alteraciones en el desarrollo craneofacial requieren un tratamiento multidisciplinario y un seguimiento a largo plazo para controlar el crecimiento craneofacial.

Displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica ligada al cromosoma X de novo por variante recurrente en un paciente mexicano / X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia by a de novo recurrent variant in a Mexican patient

Resumen Introducción: Las displasias ectodérmicas son un grupo de genodermatosis que se caracterizan por distrofia de las estructuras derivadas del ectodermo. De ellas, la variedad más común es la hipohidrótica, con una incidencia de 7/100,000 nacidos vivos observada en todos los grupos étnicos. La displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica tiene distintas etiologías. La presentación más frecuente es la asociada a un patrón de herencia ligado al cromosoma X, causada por variantes patogénicas del gen EDA en Xq13.1. EDA codifica a la ectodisplasina A, una molécula de señalización que participa en la comunicación epitelio-mesénquima durante el desarrollo de la piel y los anexos. Caso clínico: Varón de 6 años con las características clínicas cardinales de la displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica ligada al cromosoma X (DEHLX), que incluyen hipotricosis, oligodoncia e hipohidrosis. El análisis del gen EDA por secuenciación directa mostró la presencia de la variante patogénica c.466C>T, p.Arg156Cys, rs132630313 con presentación de novo en el paciente. Esta variante ya ha sido reportada en diferentes poblaciones, incluyendo familias mexicanas, y constituye un punto caliente para mutación en EDA. Se analizaron los hallazgos clínicos, la etiología y el manejo de la DEHLX, en la que de manera reciente se ha planteado la posibilidad de otorgar tratamiento prenatal para prevenir sus manifestaciones clínicas. Conclusiones: Se pone de relevancia que el análisis molecular en pacientes con DEHLX corrobora el diagnóstico clínico y permite brindar asesoramiento genético con bases moleculares.

Abstract Background: Ectodermal dysplasias are a group of genodermatoses characterized by dystrophy of ectodermal derived structures. The most frequent presentation of the ectodermal dysplasias is the hypohidrotic type, which has an incidence of 7/100,000 newborns and has been described in all ethnic groups. The hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) has different etiologies, and it is more frequently associated with an X-linked pattern of inheritance caused by pathogenic variants of the EDA gene in Xq13.1. EDA encodes the protein ectodisplasin A, a signal molecule which participates in epithelium and mesenchymal development of the skin. Case report: A 6 year-old male patient with the main clinical characteristics of the X-linked HED including hypotrichosis, hypodontia and hypohidrosis. The direct sequencing analysis of EDA in our patient detected a de novo pathogenic variant, c.466C>T, p.Arg156Cys, rs132630313. This variant has been previously described in different ethnic groups, including Mexican families, and is considered a mutational hotspot. The clinical characteristics, etiology and management of the X-linked HED, including the possibility of prenatal therapy in order to avoid the clinical manifestations are discussed. Conclusions: The molecular analysis in patients with X-linked HED is of relevance, as it enables to confirm the clinical diagnosis and also, it allows a genetic assessment with molecular bases.

Detection of EDA gene mutation and phenotypic analysis in patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To detect the ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene mutation in patients with hypohidro-tic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), and to analyze the distribution pattern of missing permanent teeth and the systemic manifestation of HED patients with EDA gene mutation.@*METHODS@#Twelve HED families were enrolled from clinic for genetic history collection, systemic physical examination and oral examination. Peripheral blood or saliva samples were collected from the probands and the family members to extract genomic DNA. PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing were utilized to detect the EDA gene variations, which were compared with the normal sequence (NM_001399.5). The functional impact of EDA gene variants was then evaluated by functional prediction of mutation, conservation analysis and protein structure prediction. The pathogenicity of each EDA gene variation was assessed according to the stan-dards and guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). The systemic phenotype and missing permanent tooth sites of HED patients with EDA gene mutations were summarized, and the missing rate of each tooth position was analyzed and compared.@*RESULTS@#Eight out of twelve HED families were identified to carry EDA gene mutations, including: c.164T>C(p.Leu55Pro); c.457C>T (p.Arg153Cys); c.466C>T(p.Arg156Cys); c. 584G>A(p.Gly195Glu); c.619delG(p.Gly207Profs*73); c.673C>T(p.Pro225Ser); c.676C>T(p.Gln226*) and c.905T>G(p.Phe302Cys). Among them, c.164T>C(p.Leu55Pro); c.619delG(p.Gly207Profs*73); c.673C>T(p.Pro225Ser); c.676C>T(p.Gln226*) and c.905T>G(p.Phe302Cys) were novel mutations. The HED patients with EDA gene mutations in this study were all male. Our results showed that the average number of missing permanent teeth was 13.86±4.49, the average number of missing permanent teeth in the upper jaw was 13.14±5.76, the missing rate was 73.02%. And in the lower jaw, the average number of missing permanent teeth was 14.57±3.05, the missing rate was 80.95%. There was no significant difference in the number of missing teeth between the left and right sides of the permanent dentition (P>0.05). Specifi-cally, the maxillary lateral incisors, the maxillary second premolars and the mandibular lateral incisors were more likely to be missing, while the maxillary central incisors, the maxillary and mandibular first molars had higher possibility of persistence.@*CONCLUSION@#This study detected novel EDA gene pathogenic variants and summarized the distribution pattern of missing permanent teeth of HED patients, thus enriched the variation and phenotype spectrum of EDA gene, and provided new clinical evidence for genetic diagnosis and prenatal consultation.

Displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica autosómica dominante asociada a hipoparatiroidismo / Autosomal dominant hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia associated to hypoparathyroidism

RESUMEN Las displasias ectodérmicas constituyen alteraciones de los derivados embriológicos del ectodermo. Paciente adulta, con hipoparatiroidismo, llamó la atención por su fenotipo y fue remitida de la consulta de Neurología a la consulta Genética. Se diagnosticó una displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica, de origen genético con herencia autosómica dominante, poco común para esta entidad. Se presenta este caso con el objetivo de describir las manifestaciones clínicas de esta alteración genética, las cuales nunca fueron objeto de interés médico resultando inadvertidas para su estudio y diagnóstico. Esta alteración se asocia a una condición patológica como el hipoparatiroidismo, en la literatura revisada no se encontraron reportes de la misma. La evaluación clínica de la paciente permitió hacer el diagnóstico y explicar muchos de los problemas para los cuales no existían respuestas, así como ofrecer un asesoramiento genético adecuado para ella y para sus familiares con riesgo de padecer una condición genética similar.

ABSTRACT Ectodermic dysplasias are alterations of the ectoderm embryologic derivatives. This is a case of an adult female patient with hypoparathyroidism, drawing attention due to her phenotype; she was remitted by the consultation of Neurology to the Genetic one. She was diagnosed a hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, of genetic origin with autosomal dominant inheritance, what is very rare for this entity. The case is presented with the aim of describing the clinical manifestation of this genetic alteration that never drew medical interest and nobody diagnosed or studied. It is associated to a pathologic condition like hypothyroidism and was not reported in medical literature before. The clinical evaluation of the patient allowed arriving to the diagnostic and explaining many problems that were unexplained, and also offering the adequate genetic advice to her and her relatives likewise at risk of suffering a similar genetic condition.

Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia – Report of Two Cases.

Here we report two cases of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in a family presented to us with intermittent fever, developmental delay, frontal bossing, hypohydrosis, sparse hair and oligodontia. Ectodermal dysplasias are a large hereditary group of disorders which are usually manifested as X-linked recessive hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) and has a full expression in males, whereas females show little to no signs of the disorder. Ectodermal dysplasia are group of rare genetic disorders characterized by faulty development of ectodermal structures and thought to be due to embryonic defect in ectodermal development. Patients frequently consult dentists for delay in tooth eruption so the appropriate awareness of the disease among dentists is essential for early diagnosis.

Las displasias ectodérmicas comprenden más de 200 entidades clínicamente distintivas, las cuales afectan, al menos, dos estructuras derivadas del ectodermo, que incluyen la piel, el pelo, las unas, los dientes, las glándulas sudoríparas y sebáceas. La displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica ligada al X es el tipo más frecuente y es causada por mutación del gen EDA, que codifica la ectodisplasina-A. Su frecuencia es menor de 1 en 100000 individuos y se caracteriza clínicamente por presentar hipodoncia, hipohidrosis, hipotricosis y alteraciones oculares. Se expone el caso de un escolar evaluado de forma multidisciplinaria con diagnóstico clínico y molecular de displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica ligada al X con mutación tipo cambio de sentido c.1133C>,T, p.T378M, en el gen EDA.

Ectodermal dysplasia encompasses more than 200 clinically distinct entities, which affect at least two structures derived from the ectoderm, including the skin, hair, nails, teeth, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is the most common type and is caused by mutation of the EDA gene that encodes Ectodysplasin-A. It occurs in less than 1 in 100 000 individuals and is clinically characterized by hypodontia, hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis, and eye dis orders. We present a child evaluated in a multidisciplinary manner with clinical and molecular diagnosis of X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with type missense mutation c.1133C> T; p.T378M in EDA gene.

Displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica: características clínicas y radiográficas / Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: clinical and radiographic characteristics

Displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica (DEH) es una enfermedad genética rara de carácter autosómico recesivo ligado al cromosoma X; abarca un conjunto de desórdenes que envuelven tejidos derivados del ectodermo, siendo afectados el sexo masculino y portadores el sexo femenino. Presentan una tríada típica: hipohidrosis, oligodoncia e hipotricosis. Se reporta el caso clínico de un paciente con signos característicos de DEH: piel reseca, cabellos, cejas y pestañas escasos; arrugas e hiperpigmentación perioral y periorbitales; labios y puente nasal prominentes y disminución de secreción lagrimal. En el examen intraoral se observaron ausencias múltiples de piezas dentarias, con presentación de sólo ocho dientes superiores y dos inferiores, todos ellos con alteración de forma y presencia de diastemas. El reconocimiento y tratamiento odontológico precoz de los individuos portadores de DEH, referidos a alteraciones bucales, es de vital importancia no solamente por ofrecer un aspecto funcional y estético favorables sino también porque permite en corto plazo reducir alteraciones en el crecimiento facial.

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genetic condition. It is of recessive autosomic character and linked to the X chromosome, encompassing a heterogeneous group of disorders involving ectoderm-derived tissues. Males are affected by the disease and females play the role of carriers. This disease presents a typical triad: hypohidrosis, oligodontia and hypotrichosis. This article examines the clinical case of a patient who exhibited characteristic signs of HED: dry skin, scarce hair eyebrows and eyelashes, wrinkles and peri-oral and peri-orbital hyperpigmentation, prominent lips and nasal bridge and decreased lachrymal secretion. Intra-oral examination revealed multiple tooth absences, presence of only eight teeth in the upper jaw and two teeth in the lower jaw, all with shape alterations and presence of diastemata. Early recognition and dental treatment of HED carrier individuals referred to oral alterations is of the utmost importance, not only to achieve favorable esthetics and functionality but also to allow the decrease facial growth alterations in a short time.

Molecular diagnosis of X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia families / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore the mutations of EDA gene in 2 X - linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dyspla-sia(XLHED)pedigrees,and provide clues for the XLHED diagnosis,genetic counseling and treatment. Methods Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were used to analyze the coding sequences and their flanking sequences of the EDA gene in the patients,suspicious carriers,normal family members in 2 families and non - relative control sam-ples. Results In family 1,mutation c. 659 676del18,namely p. 220 225del(Gly - X - Y)6 which was located in (Gly - X - Y)19 collagen - like repeat domain,was found in the proband and other patient's EDA gene. In family 2,an insertion c. 118 - 119insT was found in the intracellular domain,which induces reading frame alteration from the 40th a-mino acid. The mutations found in the 2 families were consistent with the principle of mutation and phenotype co - sepa-ration,but these mutations were not found in the normal control samples. EDA gene analysis of fetal amniotic fluid sam-ple from Ⅲ - 1 in the family 1 was not found to have the same mutation as the proband,and the follow - up after birth proved normal for the baby. Conclusions EDA gene c. 118 - 119insT mutation found in the research is a novel muta-tion. Sequence analysis of EDA gene is an efficient method in XLHED diagnosis,and is beneficial for the genetic coun-seling and the genetic intervention of the disease in the affected families.

It’s most common presentation is recessive sex-linked X chromosome disorder, although there are recessive and dominant autosomal disorders. It is more common in men, and its manifestations include thinning hair, cone-shaped teeth, hypoplastic skin and heat intolerance. Treatment includes supportive measures for the different manifestations of the disease and genetic counseling for relatives. CASE REPORT: We report the case of an eight-year old male, with XYY karyotype, unspecified progeria syndrome and hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia diagnosis, furthermore his mother has ectodermal dysplasia diagnosis. Normal quantity woolly hair, sparse eyebrows and eyelashes, teeth few and pointed toes are the highlights of the physical examination. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of this disease is mainly clinical, based on the characteristic triad, and can be supplemented by histological study, with biopsy of the forehead or the palms and soles. In our case this was done based only on the clinical manifestation, actually in treatment for xerosis with good results.

Displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica: un síndrome de interés para la odontología / Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: a syndrome of interest to dentistry

La displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica (DEH) es una enfermedad rara de etiología genética. La forma más frecuente es la de herencia recesiva relacionada al cromosomo X con sujetos de sexo masculino afectados y de sexo femenino portadores. Pueden ocurrir a través de mutaciones autosómicas, y en estas, las del gene EDA1 son responsables por la mayoría de los casos. Se caracteriza por la tríada: hipohidrosis, oligodoncia e hipotricosis. Presentamos dos casos de pacientes con DEH en los cuales se observaron signos característicos del síndrome: piel delicada; cabellos, cejas y pestañas escasos; arrugas periorbitales; hiperpigmentación perioral y periorbital; labios prominentes y además de eso el paciente del caso 2 presentaba depresión del puente nasal. Se constató aún disminución de la secreción salival y lagrimal y hipoplasia de maxila en los dos casos. Al examen oral estaban presentes en el caso 1 los caninos superiores derecho e izquierdo temporales y el canino inferior derecho temporal y en el caso 2 los caninos superiores e inferiores (derechos e izquierdos) temporales y dos incisivos superiores (uno derecho y otro izquierdo) permanentes con morfología alterada, siendo todos los elementos dentarios íntegros. El tratamiento odontológico precoz de los portadores de DEH, principalmente en la presencia de oligodoncia, como la que se observa en los casos aquí reportados, es importante no solamente para ofrecer mejor calidad de vida para estos pacientes en corto plazo, sino también en el intento de mitigar las alteraciones en el crecimiento facial a que estos pacientes están sometidos.

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare disease of genetic etiology. The most frequent form is of recessive linked to X-chromosome inheritance with affected male and female carriers. It can occur through autosomal mutations, of the gene EDA1 gene being responsible for the majority of the cases. It is characterized by the triad: hypohidrosis, oligodontia and hypotrichosis. We present two cases of patients with HED in which we observed characteristic signs of this syndrome: delicate skin, sparce hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, periorbital wrinkles, perioral and periorbital hyperpigmentation, prominent lips, in addition the patient in case 2 also present the depressed nasal bridge. We also found decreased salivary and lacrimal secretion and maxillary hypoplasia in both cases. At the oral examination in case 1 the upper right and left deciduous canines and lower right deciduous canine were present, and in case 2 the upper and lower (right and left) deciduous canines and two upper (one right and other left) permanent incisors were present with altered morphology, all of these dental elements were healthy. The early dental treatment of patients with HED, especially in the presence of oligodontia, as observed in our cases, is important not only to provide a better quality of life for these patients in the short term, but also an attempt to minimize the changes in facial growth to which these patients are subject.

Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia / 대한피부과학회지

Congenital hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare genodermatosis. It is characterized by hypohidrosis hypotrichosis, dental hypoplasia and characterstic facial features, which reflect a wide constellation of developmental defec of tissue from the ectoderm. We have encountered three cases of congenital hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in a 28-year-old female, her new-born baby, and a 10-month-old boy with a family history. All of the three patients had hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis, defective dentition, and characterstic facial features, which were characterstic features of this disorder. In addition, they showed dry skin, sparse and thin hairs. Histopathologic findings of previous cases revealed no eccrine gland structure in the dermis with routine and immunohistochemical stainning such cytokeratin and filaggrin. We report three typical cases of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with the review of literature.
