Presentation
There are a few cases of EEC syndrome reported in the literature, with variable presentation. Here, we offer an insight into the diagnosis and management of EEC syndrome through the presentation of a case. [parjournal.net]
We present a case of a 17-year-old with EEC that had familial presentation as the mother of the patient was also affected. The boy had hand function, which was enough for routine work, however, he wanted improvement in his hands to do fine work. [degruyter.com]
Management of clinical manifestations associated with ectodermal dysplasia syndrome presents a unique challenge. [jisppd.com]
We present a 44-month-old girl who had features of EEC syndrome but without the classic ectrodactyly. [ortho.studio]

Claw Hand Deformity
Case 3 is a 49-year-old male with cleft palate, claw-hand deformities, absent meibomian glands and lacrimal duct, right ankyloblepharon, and a superior wedge-shaped opacity in the left cornea. [link.springer.com]
Treatment
Treatment of the foot malformation brings the size of the foot into the normal range, fills the cleft, corrects the secondary deformities and maintains good function. [ 1 ] In conclusion, the ideal treatment plan includes early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary [parjournal.net]
Treatment of such patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. [jisppd.com]
A multidisciplinary approach for treatment is needed which is co-ordinated by orthopedic, plastic, dental surgeons, ophthalmologist, dermatologists and speech therapists, psychologists. [scopemed.org]
Talk with your doctor if you or your child has been diagnosed with ectrodactyly cleft palate syndrome to find the best treatment for you. [diseaseinfosearch.org]
What is the treatment for ectodermal dysplasia ? There is no specific treatment for ectodermal dysplasia. Management of the condition is by treating the various symptoms. [dermnetnz.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis Prognosis is good with a near to normal life expectancy. Hypohidrosis (reduction/absence of sweat glands) presents the most life-threatening complications, as it can cause seizures, coma and eventually death when not managed correctly. [orpha.net]
Prognosis The prognosis for most individuals with EEC syndrome is very good. Life expectancy ranges from slightly reduced to normal. The most life-threatening complications come from sweating problems. [encyclopedia.com]
Prognosis of ACFS is poor. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for most patients with ectodermal dysplasia is very good. Morbidity and mortality is related to the absence or dysfunction of eccrine and mucous glands. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
LSCD seems to be the etiology of such keratopathy. Recurrent infection from lacrimal drainage obstruction and tear film instability are other risk factors for disease severity and progression. [link.springer.com]
Etiology The disease is linked to gene mutations p63, deputy the production of a protein essential for both (i) during the embryogenesis of the normal developement of the ectoderm, and (ii) in adult for the maturation and differentiation of the staminal [sindrome-eec.it]
Etiology In more than 90% of cases, EEC is due to missense mutations in the sequence of the TP63 gene (3q27) encoding the TP63 transcription factor that is essential for ectoderm and limb development. [orpha.net]
It is suggested that the histologic diagnostic term of focal acantholytic dyskeratosis be used, since there may be several clinical entities with a similar histology but different etiology. [scinapse.io]
Although some ectodermal dysplasia syndromes have no known genetic etiology, the number of ectodermal dysplasia syndromes with an identifiable genetic basis is increasing. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Summary Epidemiology The exact prevalence is not known. More than 300 cases have been described in the literature. [orpha.net]
Epidemiology The incidence of ACFS has not been determined, due to the paucity of the reported cases, but it is likely a very rare disease ( 1 in 100,000 newborns). A similar occurrence among genders is expected for an autosomal disorder. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Ectodermal dysplasia results from the abnormal morphogenesis of cutaneous and/or oral embryonal ectoderm (ie, hair, nails, teeth, eccrine glands). In some forms, mesodermal abnormalities are also present. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Mainly, mutations associated EEC syndrome are located in the region of DNA binding and prevent its binding, whereas abnormalities associated ADULT syndrome affect transactivating domain (TA) gene and associated Hay-Wells syndrome are located domain with [ivami.com]
