Displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica tipo 1 ligada al cromosoma X, síndrome de Christ-Siemens-Touraine: caso clínico y revisión de la literatura / Type 1 hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia X-linked, the Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome: a clinical case and review of the literature

La displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica tipo 1 ligada al X (DEH1-X) ­síndrome de Christ-Siemens-Touraine­ es una genodermatosis que forma parte de las displasias ectodérmicas, caracterizadas por alteraciones en el desarrollo de una o más estructuras derivadas de ectodermo. Clínicamente presenta hipotricosis, hipohidrosis e hipodontia de severidad variable. Propósito: Describir las características clínicas de la DEH1-X, su manejo odontológico y diferenciarla de otras entidades patológicas. Caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 18 años de edad, con antecedente familiar de displasia ectodérmica hipohidrótica diagnosticada también en un hermano menor. Acude a consulta por prótesis anterior fracturada y mal ajustada. Se trató mediante frenilectomía anterior y rehabilitación bucal protésica. Discusión: En el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las alteraciones congénitas de desarrollo es de particular importancia la identificación temprana y el trabajo en equipo multidisciplinario. El plan de tratamiento y manejo clínico de tejidos orales blandos y duros debe ser adaptado a las necesidades particulares del padecimiento, lo que permitirá establecer un mejor pronóstico. Conclusiones: La DEH1-X es una alteración congénita del desarrollo que afecta estructuras orales, por lo que debe ser identificada por el estomatólogo para atender correctamente las alteraciones dentales y evitar complicaciones posteriores (AU)

Type 1 hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia X-linked (DEH1-X) -Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome- is a genodermatosis. Ectodermal dysplasias are characterized by development alterations on one or more ectodermal derived structures. IN DEH1-X, patients present hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis and hypodontia of variable severity. Aims: To describe anatomic and clinical characteristics of the DEH1-X, dental treatment, and to differentiate from other clinical conditions. Case report: Male teenager, 18-year-old, was referred for replacement of anterior dental prosthesis. Family history for hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia was positive, younger brother with the same condition. Treatment consisted of anterior labial frenectomy and dental prosthetic rehabilitation with acceptable clinical and esthetic's results. Discussion: When diagnosing and treating patients with developmental genetic conditions is particularly important the early detection and the participation of interdisciplinary team work. The clinical treatment of hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity has to be planned and personalized according to the particular needing of each case, in order to achieve better results and long term prognosis. Conclusions: DEH1-X is a congenital developmental disorder, which affects oral structures, should be identified and treated appropriately by the dentist to prevent further dental complications (AU)

Incontinentia pigmenti (Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome).

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP; Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome; OMIM #308300) is an X-linked dominant neurocutaneous disorder with presumed male lethality. It is usually diagnosed in female newborns based on skin features (erythematous, vesicular, or bullous eruption in linear streaks). The skin lesions evolve into a verrucous stage, followed by atrophy and scarring, leaving linear areas of hypopigmentation and hyperpigmented macules in bizarre patterns following Blaschko's lines. Systemic and neurologic complications include focal seizures and hemorrhagic cerebral infarction in infants, and retinal vasculopathy leading to blindness. Hypodontia, conical or pegged teeth, and linear areas of alopecia persist into adulthood. IP is caused by mutation of the IKBKG/NEMO gene on Xq28. Deletion of exons 4 to 10 (NEMOΔ4-10) accounts for about 80% of cases (familial and sporadic). NEMO mutation leads to loss of function of NF-κB, a critical protein that modulates cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and response to proinflammatory factors, leading to the characteristic features of IP. In female carriers, selective loss of cells expressing the mutant X-chromosome results in completely skewed X-inactivation in the majority of cases. Study of mouse models in which various components of the NF-κB pathway (including NEMO) have been knocked out has contributed significantly to our understanding of disease pathogenesis.

Christ Siemens Touraine syndrome: Two case reports and felicitous approaches to prosthetic management.

Ectodermal dysplasia is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders, which exhibit a classic triad of hypohydrosis, hypotrichosis, and hypodontia. Hypohidrotic or anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia or Christ Siemens Touraine syndrome is the most common condition among ectodermal dysplasia patients. This is a case report on two Christ Siemens Touraine syndrome cases and two different approaches to prosthetic management.
