Postnatally, they were able to sweat normally and had not developed X-linked HED-related hyperthermia or respiratory illnesses by age 14 and 22 months. Longer-term follow up of these boys has shown continued good outcomes, although correction of the deciduous dentition was not achieved.

In the long-term follow-up phase, efficacy and safety will be assessed in affected males up to age five years.

EDA is important in the NFKappa<i>B</i> pathway, which involves numerous downstream genes involved in embryogenesis. EDA binds to the ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR; encoded by <i>EDAR</i>) activating the NFKappa<i>B</i> pathway. Mutated EDA is unable to bind and activate the pathway.</p><p>EDAR contains a single transmembrane <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/domain/">domain</a> with type 1 membrane topology. The protein probably functions as a multimeric receptor and is related to the TNFR family. Mutated EDAR is unable to bind with ectodysplasin. <i>EDAR</i> variants causing <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/autosomal-recessive/">autosomal recessive</a> hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) exhibit loss of function, while those associated with <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/autosomal-dominant/">autosomal dominant</a> HED exhibit a <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/dominant-negative/">dominant-negative</a> effect [<a class="bk_pop" href="#x-hed.REF.valcuendecavero.2008.1508">Valcuende-Cavero et al 2008</a>]. At least two of the dominant-negative pathogenic variants are not associated with the HED <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/phenotype/">phenotype</a>.</p><p>The protein encoded by <i>EDARADD</i> is similar to the death <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/domain/">domain</a>, MyD88, a cytoplasmic transducer of Toll/interleukin receptor signaling [<a class="bk_pop" href="#x-hed.REF.headon.2001.913">Headon et al 2001</a>]. It also contains a Traf-binding consensus sequence. It is coexpressed with tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member EDAR in epithelial cells during the formation of hair follicles and teeth. It interacts with the death domain of EDAR and links the receptor to signaling pathways downstream. <i>EDARADD</i> pathogenic variants alter the charge of an amino acid in the protein, usually rendering it unable to interact with EDAR. In one family with <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/autosomal-dominant/">autosomal dominant</a> HED, a novel <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/missense/">missense</a> variant did not interfere with interaction between EDAR and EDARADD proteins but still led to impaired activation of NFKappa<i>B</i> signaling [<a class="bk_pop" href="#x-hed.REF.wohlfart.2016.249">Wohlfart et al 2016</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#x-hed.REF.asano.2021.1533">Asano et al 2021</a>].</p><p><i>WNT10A</i> encodes a peptide containing two N-linked glycosylation sites and residues conserved among WNTs. The protein contains two domains, a signal peptide and the Wnt <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/domain/">domain</a>, and encodes a secreted signaling molecule that is involved in several developmental processes, such as regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. WNT10A and WNT10B are highly expressed in embryonic skin as well as the placodes involved in follicle morphogenesis. WNT10A is also very important for normal dentinogenesis and tooth morphogenesis.</p><p><b>Mechanism of disease causation.</b> Depending on the specific variant and resulting protein, the mechanism of disease can be loss of function or a <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/dominant-negative/">dominant-negative</a> effect. <i>EDA</i> pathogenic variants are loss of function. Pathogenic variants in <i>WNT10A</i> appear to cause changes in protein folding or stabilization causing a loss of function [<a class="bk_pop" href="#x-hed.REF.zeng.2021.302">Zeng et al 2021</a>]. <i>EDARADD</i> pathogenic variants can result in a dominant-negative effect or loss of function depending on the variant [<a class="bk_pop" href="#x-hed.REF.asano.2021.1533">Asano et al 2021</a>].</p><p><b>Gene-specific laboratory considerations: <i>EDARADD</i>.</b>
