Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to compare sleep efficiency by means of actigraphy in patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with healthy controls.

Detailed Description
Ectodermal dysplasias (ED) are rare genetic diseases characterized by a developmental abnormality of at least two of the following ectodermal derivatives: teeth, nails, pilosity and glands. In the hypohidrotic form (HED), dental abnormalities (oligodontia, hypodontia) and the decrease or even the absence of sweating are predominant. The lack of sweating, and therefore of the regulation of core body temperature, can impact the daily lives of patients as soon as the ambient temperature exceeds 23-24 ° C.
Core body temperature is one of the players of the internal biological clock that regulates sleep. Indeed, sleep is induced by a decrease in core body temperature concomitant with a peak of melatonin secretion. Consequently, the absence of sweating in HED and therefore the inability to lower core body temperature may explain the poor sleep quality reported by patients. However, sleep disturbances have not been analyzed in the literature nor the relationship between sleep quality and core body temperature in patients with HED.
The sleep of patients with HED who are followed at the national reference center for rare diseases of the skin and mucous membranes of genetic origin (MAGEC center) of the Necker-Enfants Malades hospital will be evaluated and compared to sleep of healthy controls screened within in the patient's family.
The main objective of the study is to compare the sleep efficiency evaluated on actigraphy between HED patients and healthy controls.
Sleep efficiency will be measured by means of actigraphy during 10 days and one overnight polysomnography, together with continuous recording of proximal and distal skin temperature during 10 days, one-off measurement of sweating by a sweat test and urine melatonin assay over 24 hours.
Subjective sleep quality will also be assessed by means of questionnaires in patients and healthy controls. Finally, patients with HED will also have a standardized psychological and neuropsychological assessment.

One-off questionnaires assessing subjective sleep quality. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) evaluates sleep quality with questions about sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medications, and daytime dysfunction during the last month.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale evaluates daytime sleepiness and comprises 8 items (situations) during which individuals assess how likely they would fall asleep.
Other: Sweat test
One-off measurement of sweating by a sweat test at the hospital.
Other: Urine melatonin assay
Two urine melatonin at home during 24 hours, one during a week day and one during the weekend
Other: Polysomnography
Sleep architecture assessed by a polysomnography during one night at home.
Other: Standardized psychological and neuropsychological assessment
One-off psychological and neuropsychological assessment of patients with HED during a hospital visit
