EEC syndrome

Authoring team

Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome (EEC) is an autosomal dominant condition with variable penetrance comprising:

  • ectrodactyly
  • ectodermal dysplasia
  • facial clefting including cleft lip and palate

Common associated features include:

  • vesicoureteric reflux leading to recurrent urinary tract infections
  • nasolacrimal duct obstruction leading to tearing
  • hypopigmentation
  • hypoplasia or absence of teeth

There are thought to be three different forms of EEC syndrome with phenotypic similarities but different gene abnormalities(1).
