July 2021 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This document reported a case of a 13-year-old boy diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia (ED) due to missing and conical-shaped teeth and abnormal hair texture. Initial genetic testing did not reveal any pathogenic variants, but later whole-genome analysis identified compound heterozygous TSPEAR variants, which are linked to autosomal recessive ED. This condition, characterized by hypodontia, conical teeth, and abnormal hair texture, had only been reported in five cases worldwide at the time. The discovery of the TSPEAR gene's role in ED highlights the importance of revisiting earlier genetic test results as new genes are discovered. The boy's affected sister also benefited from this genetic diagnosis for better management and counseling.
