Abstract:
Ectoderrmal dysplasias are a heterogenous group of disorders, in which more than 150 different syndromes have been identified. It is defined by primary defects in the development of two or more tissues derived
from embryonic ectoderm, characterized by abnormalities in the skin, sweat glands, hair, teeth and nails. Other parts, including the lens of the
eye, parts of the inner ear, or nerves, may also fail to develop normally.
