We present here a historical documentation of a female with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XHED) and a de novo X/9 chromosome translocation. The patient was verbally reported by Dr. P.L. J. Cook to the HGM conference in 1973, but was subsequently lost to follow up. We have since traced

✦ Synopsis
A de novo translocation (X;1)(q13.1;p36.33) was found in a 2-year-old girl with typical clinical features of X-linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA). The breakpoint at Xql3.1 is approximately the same as has been described in 2 other EDA females with X;autosome translocations.

## Communicated by Uta Francke Mutations in ectodysplasin, the protein product of the EDA or ED1 gene, cause X-linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. From sixteen families we have identified thirteen mutations, of which nine were novel: a deletion of the entire exon 1, altered splicing site in in
## Abstract X‐linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) is characterized by severe hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis, and hypodontia. The gene responsible for this pleiotropic syndrome (__ED1__) consists of 12 exons, 8 of them coding for a transmembrane protein (ectodysplasin‐A; EDA‐A) involved in
