Diseases

This section deals with the various clinical, laboratory and social aspects of the diseases in the five major groups of disorders (i.e. ectodermal dysplasias, and disorders of epithelial adhesion, keratinisation, connective tissue and DNA repair). Information on these pages is divided into two sub-sections.

  • A general area (Diseases) is available to patients, their relatives and the general public. You will see a general description of each of the five major groups of disorders, together with details of European centres offering clinical, diagnostic and research services, ongoing clinical trials, patients' associations and related website
  • A more specific access area is provided for additional information on diseases (Information for Professionals). Each disease has a dedicated page with more detailed clinical and laboratory descriptions, including key clinical features, diagnostic tests and procedures, tools for laboratory diagnosis. Research services, ongoing clinical trials, patients' associations and related websites are also reported.
