- Ectodermal dysplasia is not an extremely rare genetic disorder as stated in the manuscript
- "Ectodermal dysplasia is an X linked recessive disorder" which is not true. Ectodermal dysplasias are can be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X- liked disorders.
- This condition can affect males and females equally.
- Method of estimation of salivary flow not mentioned
- Please check English grammar and style
- Discussion should have been a little longer.
- Genetic levels and grades are not discussed in detail.
- Rehabilitation and prosthetic management could have been discussed
- Overall not very well documented and not a rare condition to report.

Other Comments:
well presented the diagnosis part but management of such case need to be presented in detail like
is it tooth supported fixed prosthesis or implant supported prosthesis?
what about the follow-up problems?
what were the post-operative instructions given to the patient?

Other Comments:
abstract is too general
update references
check english grammar and style
expand discussion
add some other images
no significant contribution to this specific research field is provided
there is confusion concerning the classification of Ectodermal dysplasias: please specify that the present patient was afflicted with Hypohidrotic form
no multidisciplinary treatment was done: no aestethic concerns, speech problems, detailed facial features,.. were analysed

Other Comments:
Dear Webmed Central team, thank you for your invitation to review the article entitled " Hereditary Ectodermal Dysplasia - A Case Report " by Babu S et al. My comments are as follows:
- Regarding abstract, authors mentioned that" Ectodermal dysplasia is an extremely rare genetic disorder" which is not true. It is a rare disorder or a common genetic disorder. Authors also mentioned that "It usually affects the males and females are the carriers". This is true only in the X- linked type while the other 2 types (autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive) affect both males and females equally.
- Regarding introduction, authors mentioned that "Ectodermal dysplasia is an X linked recessive disorder" which is not true. Ectodermal dysplasias are characterized by genetic heterogeneity i.e. transmitted as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X- liked disorders.
- OMIM (On line Mendelian Inheritance in Man) number should be mentioned.
- Regarding case report, I estimated that the present case is an X linked type. The pedigree (family tree) should be taken. Mother is a carrier of the affected gene and should be examined because partial manifestations as missing upper lateral incisors could be reported.
- Regarding discussion, authors ignored to discuss the suggested treatment regarding periodontal condition and previously published treatment modalities.
- Finally I have a negative decision. The article reported a well-known and well-documented condition and did not describe the management in detail without a long-term follow-up.
Thank you.

The main purpose of this article is to describe a case of hereditary ectodermal dysplasia.

Yes, It would be a great presentation at either a dental or medical school.
Ectodermal dysplasias are a group of disorders which are characterized by developmental dystrophies. It is an x-linked recessive disorder. The etiology of ectodermal dysplasia is genetic. The skin, teeth, hair, nails, and exocrine glands are affected.
The authors conclude that a careful and thorough examination will lead to an accurate diagnosis and that the restoration of normal function should be the main concern in these patients.
