Autosomal recessive hereditary ectodermal dysplasia (HED) has not been described in sub-Saharan Africa. It is acknowledged to be rarer than the occasionally reported x-linked and autosomal dominant variants. We report a pair of Nigerian female twins with family history and clinical features suggestive of recessive HED, thereby showing the existence of this rare form in sub-Saharan Africa.
常染色体隐性遗传性外胚层发育不良（HED）在撒哈拉以南非洲地区尚未有过报道。人们认为它比偶尔报道的X连锁和常染色体显性变体更为罕见。我们报告了一对有家族病史且临床特征提示为隐性HED的尼日利亚女性双胞胎，从而表明这种罕见类型在撒哈拉以南非洲地区存在。
