Abstract: Objective: To report a Chinese X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia pedigree and analyze genetic and phenotypic characters of this pedigree. Methods: The protocol was similar with the previous. Briefly, the pedigree was reported through the identified proband. All family members were investigated through clinical examination and pedigree analysis. The whole nucleotide sequence of EDA gene was studied by direct sequencing. Results: The pedigree was transmitted through X-linked recessive manner. Male patients in this family have characteristic features, while carriers only have mild exhibition. The whole exon 3 EDA gene was deleted in this pedigree. Conclusion: This family showed classical phenotype of XLHED and the causative mutation was exon 3 deletion.
