Two novel ectodysplasin A gene mutations and prenatal diagnosis of X‐linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia

Abstract Background Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is mainly caused by ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene mutation. Fetus with genetic deficiency of EDA can be prenatally corrected. This study aimed at revealing the pathogenesis of two HED families and making a prenatal diagnosis for one pregnant f...
