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]

Efforts to prevent secondary infections in skin erosions comprise gentle wound care and dilute bleach soaks. Secondary infections should be cultured and treated appropriately. [orpha.net]
