Abstract

Dental examinations and tooth measurements were conducted on 16 mothers, 10 fathers, and 23 affected males in 15 families with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Small teeth and congenital missing teeth were sufficiently consistent findings in obligate heterozygotes to suggest that carriers can usually be recognized by clinical criteria.
