    Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) refers to a group of genetic disorders that affect the development of the ectodermal layer, which is responsible for forming the skin, hair, nails, teeth, and sweat glands. Individuals with ED often experience symptoms such as sparse hair, missing or malformed teeth, and an inability to sweat properly, which can lead to overheating.
