    Gene product
    Name ectodysplasin 1 receptor
    Mechanism(s)
    Gene mutationChromosome rearrangementEffectComments
    various types   abnormal protein/loss of function recessive loss of function as well as likely dominant negative mutations
    unknown     R375H substitution in EDAR caused loss of its affinity for EDARADD and reduced activation of the downstream target NF-kappaB (recessive form)
    Remark(s) homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the EDAR gene have a more severe phenotype than those with a heterozygous missense, nonsense or frame-shift mutation
