Why is ectodermal dysplasia a genetic disease?

The so-called ectoderm refers to the outermost layer of the embryo. During the process of embryonic development, the germ layer will eventually form the human reproductive epithelium. As we all know, some abnormalities will occur during embryonic development, including ectoderm dysplasia. There are many reasons behind this, which may be related to gene mutations, or infectious factors, etc. So why does ectoderm dysplasia directly lead to genetic diseases?

Why is ectodermal dysplasia a genetic disease?

Developmental malfunction can be caused by acquired factors, such as insufficient nutrition, external stimuli, and mutations, or by congenital factors. If it is an acquired factor, it will not occur.

Guidance:

Avoid spicy and cold foods, eat a light diet, maintain a regular work and rest schedule, keep your emotions stable, avoid staying up late and getting angry, pay attention to personal hygiene, and eat a balanced diet.

No one can be sure what the genetic chance is.

Guidance:

Recommendation: In this case, you only need to observe temporarily, pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, maintain a balanced diet, lead a regular life, and have regular prenatal checkups.

One of the reasons is that the embryo is suddenly damaged in the 3rd to 4th month. It is generally believed to be related to genetic factors. There have been reports of abnormal development of the female ectoderm and interarm inversion of chromosome 9. The 4 cases reported by Lv Bingqing all had normal chromosomes. There is much controversy about the inheritance mode. Males are obviously more likely to develop the disease, and females only account for 10%. However, there are also incomplete types in females. The epidermis of the affected children atrophies and becomes thinner, the dermis is also thinner, the sweat ducts and sweat glands are mostly absent, the hair follicles and sebaceous glands are also reduced, but there are no abnormalities in collagen fibers and blood vessels. It is autosomal dominant inheritance, and the homozygous type can be lethal. Some people divide it into 4 types:

1. The symptoms of the male type of sex-linked recessive inheritance are typical and the most common.

2. Females with the sex-linked recessive genetic type are gene carriers and only have partial symptoms.

3. Autosomal recessive palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, dental dysplasia, hypohidrosis, often accompanied by mental retardation, and parents are consanguineous.

4. Autosomal dominant inheritance is similar to the hidrotic type, both sexes are affected, mental retardation, often with polydactyly and syndactyly.

It is not hereditary, but it may be related to living habits and soil and water, and may have an impact on the next generation.

Guidance:

You can massage your scalp with your fingers to promote blood circulation, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy food.
