Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is the most common form of ectodermal dysplasia in the general population. The clinical manifestations of HED include fever due to hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis, dental hypoplasia, and characteristic aged facial features, along with multisystem involvement. Over 20 genes have been implicated in HED, with EDA being the most frequent pathogenic gene. To expand the mutational spectrum of HED and explore the association between EDA mutations and hypotrichosis. Whole-exome sequencing, target gene sequencing, and Sanger sequencing were performed with prediction of protein structure. We identified five novel variants and five structural variants (with large indels and copy number variation). Copy number variation was validated through targeted sequencing and quantitative PCR. Patients harbouring deletion, nonsense, and splice-site mutations exhibited more severe phenotypes. We report a series of HED cases with mutations in EDA, EDAR, and NFKBIA, expanding the mutational spectrum of EDA, with analysis of genotype-phenotype correlations associated with EDA mutations. We propose that focal alopecia may serve as an easily observable clinical marker for disease severity stratification. Mutations disrupting critical structural domains or altering spatial conformation of the EDA protein may underlie these severe clinical manifestations by impairing protein stability or functional interactions.

Sun exposure is the main external risk factor for skin cancer, affecting melanoma and non-melanoma differently. Although increased awareness of sun-induced skin damage and appropriate photoprotection has helped to reduce melanoma incidence, inadequate sun protection persists, influenced by geographical, social, and cultural factors. Italy's varying climates -from the colder north to the warmer south- impact sun exposure behaviours. This study examined sun protection habits from the 2023 "Save your skin" campaign to identify at-risk groups and support targeted education. Participants completed anonymous questionnaires on sun exposure, sunscreen use, and skin cancer history. Among 1,773 participants, 45% spent 2-4 weeks per year in the sun on holiday, 26% experienced occupational sun exposure, and 33% used tanning beds. Despite darker skin types, only 26% tanned easily; severe sunburn rates were consistent across regions. Central and southern participants reported more sun exposure on holiday than northern participants (p < 0.001); work-related sun exposure was more common in the south. Tanning bed use was higher in the north (p < 0.001). Although 62.46% always used sunscreen, only 32.51% applied it correctly. Misconceptions about sunscreen were widespread, and actinic damage was more frequent among those with lower photoprotection awareness. Inadequate sun protection is widespread in Italy, with regional differences in sun exposure and tanning bed use. Misconceptions about sunscreen are common, and the rate of proper application is low. The higher incidence of actinic damage among those with less photoprotection knowledge highlights the need for targeted education to improve sun safety and reduce skin cancer risk.
