Clinical Description OMIM McGrath et al. (1997, 1999) described a boy with a unique skin disorder comprising trauma-induced skin fragility and congenital ectodermal dysplasia affecting hair, nails, and sweat glands. The proband reported by McGrath et al. (1997) was a 6-year-old ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In a patient with ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome, McGrath et al. (1997) identified compound heterozygosity for premature termination codons in the PKP1 gene (601975.0001-601975.0002).

In a 17-year-old patient with ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome, Whittock et al. ...
