Description: Focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) is a rare form of ectodermal dysplasia that is inherited as an X-linked dominant genetic trait. Since affected male fetuses usually do not survive early pregnancy, it is found almost exclusively in females. This disorder is characterized by skin abnormalities that develop into streaks or lines of tumor-like lumps on various parts of the body. This syndrome displays a wide array of symptoms and may affect almost any organ. Lists of support organizations
