Prognosis Overall prognosis is good with most having normal life expectancy. Unfortunately infants with extensive skin erosions are at risk of premature death due to complications including sepsis and fluid/electrolyte abnormalities.[orpha.net]
Affected individuals or their parents should talk to their physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis. Many of the symptoms associated with AEC syndrome are present at birth (congenital).[rarediseases.org]

While AEC and Rapp-Hodgkin had been thought to be clinically distinct entities, the elucidation of their molecular etiology confirmed that they are a clinical continuum as opposed to distinct disorders.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology AEC is caused by typically missense mutations in the Tumor suppressor gene TP63. Over 4/5th of the reported mutations occur in the steril alpha motif domain, and about 1/5th occur in the transactivation inhibitory domain of TP63.[orpha.net]

How can Hay-Wells Syndrome be Prevented? Currently, Hay-Wells Syndrome may not be preventable, since it is a genetic disorder.[dovemed.com]
