Q82: Other congenital malformations of skin
Q82.4: Ectodermal dysplasia (anhidrotic)
The disorder is hereditary. Other family members may also be affected.
The disorder can mean that hair, teeth and sweat glands have not developed properly. Other areas of the body may also be affected. The disorder means that you cannot sweat normally, if at all. Being unable to sweat properly means that high temperatures may be dangerous for the body. The eyes can also be very dry and become easily inflamed.
