We described a 5-year-old male with hypodontia, hypohidrosis, and facial dysmorphisms characterized by a depressed nasal bridge, maxillary hypoplasia, and protuberant lips. Chromosomal analysis revealed a normal 46,XY male karyotype. Due to the presence of clinical features of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), the EDA gene, located at Xq12q13.1, of the patient and his family was sequenced. Analysis of the proband's sequence revealed a missense mutation (T to A transversion) in hemizygosity state at nucleotide position 158 in exon 1 of the EDA gene, which changes codon 53 from leucine to histidine, while heterozygosity at this position was detected in the slightly affected mother; moreover, this mutation was not found in the publically available Human Gene Mutation Database. To date, our findings indicate that a novel mutation in EDA is associated with X-linked HED, adding it to the repertoire of EDA mutations.

Abstract. X-linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA), also called hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), represents a group of similar phenotypes described in humans, the tabby mouse mutant, dog, and cattle (KERE et al., 1996; SRIVASTAVA et al., 1997; CASAL et al., 2005; DRÖGEMÜLLER et al., 2001, 2002). EDA is characterised by the hypoplasia or absence of hair and eccrine glands in addition to dental abnormalities. Ectodysplasin A1 and A2, the two isoforms encoded by the EDA gene, are transmembrane protein members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family and deleterious mutations in the human, murine, canine, and bovine EDA gene, respectively, result in manifestations of EDA.
