A member asked:
What do you suggest if my first baby born with ectodermal dysplasia, can i take precaution for the next baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: on the type of ectodermal dysplasia your first baby has. There are many types and many different inheritance patterns. If neither parent has it, the inheritance could be either autosomal recessive or X linked. (shown here) The risk to your next baby would depend on which inheritance pattern runs in your family. Ask your doctor for detailed genetic information and an estimate of recurrence risk
