Summary 1.A family has been studied whose members showed ectodermal dysplasia and corneal dystrophy (Groenouw type 1), either singly or in combination. 2.By carefully studying the total body surface for the capacity to sweat, a number of otherwise normal individuals have been shown to be affected. 3.By the techniques employed, ectodermal dysplasia was shown to be transmitted as a dominant gene and expressivity is sex-affected. 4.The corneal dysplasia was also transmitted as a dominant gene. This condition is neither sex-linked nor sexaffected.
