autosomal recessive hair-nail ectodermal dysplasia ectodermal dysplasia chromosome 12 KRTHB5 keratin II genes

Studysummary In this study, researchers confirmed linkage of a form of hair-nail ectodermal dysplasia to chromosome 12 in a Pakistani family, suggesting a possible non-coding mutation in KRTHB5 or a mutation in an unknown gene.
