Clinical features and genetic insights of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in two cases, suggesting early diagnosis is crucial.
Background: Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED), also referred to as hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, is a rare genetic condition characterized by a triad of hypotrichosis, hypodontia, and hypohidrosis. Case Report: This article reports two illustrative cases: an adolescent and a child, both presenting with classic AED manifestations. Discussion: We describe the clinical and histological features, provide insights into the diagnostic process, and discuss recent advances in the understanding and management of AED. Conclusion: AED is a rare genetic disorder that requires early diagnosis, regular follow-up, and genetic counseling. New therapies offer promising outcomes.
