EEC syndrome

EEC syndrome is a genetic developmental disorder that primarily affects the arms, skin, and face. It is characterized by ectrodactyly (missing or unusual development of the fingers or toes), ectodermal dysplasia (an abnormal development of the skin, hair, nails, or teeth), and orofacial clefts such as a cleft lip or palate. People with this condition may have a range of physical differences due to these key features. The syndrome is recognized through its combination of limb differences, skin issues, and facial clefts, which can vary in severity between individuals.

Common symptoms of EEC syndrome include ectrodactyly, where individuals may have missing or malformed fingers or toes, differences in skin, hair, and nail development due to ectodermal dysplasia, and orofacial clefts such as a cleft lip or palate. The presence and severity of these features can vary from one person to another.

EEC syndrome is a genetic condition, meaning it is caused by changes in genes that occur during development. Specific genetic mutations have not been detailed in the available information, so further details about the exact causes and genetic risk factors are limited.
