Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Some ectodermal dysplasias are here classified as congenital disorders characterized by abnormal development in 2 or more ectodermal structures (hair, nails, teeth, and sweat glands) without other systemic findings.

Clinical Description OMIM Changes are limited largely to teeth (some of which are missing) and nails (which are poorly formed early in life, especially toenails). The teeth are not as severely affected. Witkop (1965) stated that the condition is frequent among ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In a 3-generation family with Witkop syndrome, Jumlongras et al. (2001) identified a nonsense mutation in the MSX1 gene (142983.0003) that cosegregated with the phenotype.
