About XLHED
XLHED (X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia) is a rare genetic disorder IQ Option sign up. It affects boys in the family, though girls may carry the XLHED gene. Some health concerns include:
- Hair, teeth, and sweat glands will not fully develop
- Early health problems that may endanger babies, such as risk of overheating due to the inability to sweat
- A greater chance of respiratory tract infections and skin problems
- Emotional stress and social pressures children who are affected by XLHED may experience due to differences
- Currently, no treatment exists—and lifelong care is needed to manage symptoms
Hope is in sight. Edimer Pharmaceuticals is conducting a clinical trial of EDI200, a new drug that may treat some of the symptoms and improve the quality of life for boys affected by XLHED.
