Partial sweat gland aplasia in incontinentia pigmenti Bloch-Sulzberger. Implications for nosologic classification.
Dermatoglyphic investigation of palm prints in patients with Incontinentia pigmenti revealed in five of eight cases a partial ridge dissociation with lack of sweat gland pores. This disease can, therefore, be accepted as a second X-linked anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, which, however, is only segregated in the female.
