Just curious...
Does anyone know anything about ectodermal dysplaysia?
(It's a definite possibility that I spelled that wrong.)
I have looked this up online multiple times, but I wanted to know more about from someone who might have it or has a family member who has it.
Any info would be mucho appreciated

I know a little of this condition and have no one in my immediate family who is afflicted. I know it effects teeth (may be pointed and no enamel) skin, sweat glands, etc. Can you be more specific in your question, mahal and I will try to help. Are you effected by this syndrome and in what way ?

Well, this disease runs in my brother's girlfriend's family. At least half of her family has it, and she is now pregnant with my brother's child. She told us that there is a 50/50 chance on the child having it, so me and my family are pretty concerned. I was just curious on how exactly it affects a person's life, and if it is a very serious condition?
