June 2026 in “Clinical Case Reports” This case report observed a 5.5-year-old girl with Ectodermal Dysplasia-Syndactyly Syndrome 1, who experienced improved hair density and thickness with topical minoxidil and tretinoin, suggesting a potential adjunctive role for topical retinoids, though confirmation in larger studies is needed.
January 2023 in “Indian dermatology online journal” This case report describes a novel NECTIN4 gene mutation linked to ED-syndactyly syndrome 1 in a young girl, contributing to the understanding of this rare ectodermal dysplasia.
February 2025 in “Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health” In this case report, a late preterm male infant presented with a pathogenic TP63 gene variant, consistent with Rapp-Hodgkin Syndrome, showing symptoms such as ichthyosiform erythroderma, cleft palate, and ankyloblepharon, highlighting the complex management and diagnostic challenges in such cases.
September 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study identifies two previously unreported pathogenic RIPK4 gene variants, suggesting a functional link with cell adhesion molecules in ectodermal dysplasias.
