Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and finger clubbing – An unknown association

Abstract

The ectodermal dysplasias are heterogenous group of inherited disorders with primary defects in tissues derived from embryonic ectoderm such as hair, tooth, nail and sweat gland. This disorder is broadly divided into hypohidrotic or anhidrotic and hidrotic forms. Here, we present a classical x-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with finger clubbing, the association of which is not being reported earlier.
