[Anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia].
The purpose of this paper is to report a boy with a typical case of anhydrotic ecotdermal dysplasia, spina bifida occulat, and abnormal dermatoglyphics. Histologic studies of the skin showed absence of sebaceous and sweat gland and hair follicles. The clinical examination of the mother and the histopathological report of her skin suggests sex linked transmission; however, an autosomal dominat gene limited to males can not be excluded.
