  Purpose

The overall purpose of this study is to learn more about Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED) and to help in identifying treatment opportunities. Several evaluations will be conducted in this study: 1) the number of skin sweat glands you have and their ability to produce sweat; 2) your ability to grow hair; 3) the structure of your face compared to faces of people affected by HED; 4) molds of your teeth to see if and how they are different than people affected by HED.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess the hair follicle density and percent anagen hairs in the scalp of HED/XLHED males and unaffected controls [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 3-4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess the palmar sweat duct number using confocal microscopy in HED/XLHED males and unaffected controls [ Time Frame: Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To evaluate 3-dimensional imaging technology without radiation exposure for mapping craniofacial development in HED/XLHED males and unaffected controls [ Time Frame: Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To use teeth impressions to construct 3-dimensional dental models for detailed evaluation of abnormalities present in HED/XLHED males (not for controls) [ Time Frame: Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To determine the presence or absence of EDA gene mutations/deletions in males with a clinical diagnosis of HED (not for controls) [ Time Frame: Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess by medical history the prevalence of medical complications in HED/XLHED males and unaffected controls [ Time Frame: Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess the pilocarpine-stimulated sweat rate on the volar surface of the forearm following pilocarpine iontophoresis in HED/XLHED males and unaffected controls, and to correlate with heat-stimulated sweat test classification [ Time Frame: Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
