Anodontia as the sole clinical sign of the ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip (EEC) syndrome

Genet Couns. 1990;1(1):67-73.

Abstract

In this report we present another family with oligosymptomatic expression of the EEC syndrome. A mother with complete absence of the permanent teeth had two children with split hand/split foot deformity, as typically seen in the EEC syndrome. Cleft lip/cleft palate was also present in one of them. The great variability in expression of this autosomal dominant syndrome is discussed and the difficulties in genetic counseling are emphasized.
