Odontoonychodermal dysplasia: a previously apparently undescribed ectodermal dysplasia.

Abstract

Seven affected individuals in a total of 24 belonging to three inbred Lebanese sibships are presented as having a previously apparently undescribed pure ectodermal dysplasia. For this condition, probably owing to the homozygous state of an autosomal recessive gene, we suggest the name trichoodontodermal dysplasia.
