Hair disorders
Gene: EDAR
Well-established gene-disease association. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is characterised by hypotrichosis (sparseness of scalp and body hair), hypohidrosis (reduced ability to sweat), and hypodontia (congenital absence of teeth). Biallelic loss-of-function variants cause early onset classic HED, whereas monoallelic dominant-negative variants cause mild HED.Created: 18 Mar 2022, 9:26 a.m. | Last Modified: 18 Mar 2022, 9:26 a.m.
