Brenner was born with the rare genetic condition X-linked hypo-hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED). He sought to help and encourage others with XLHED through the National Foundation of Ectodermal Dysplasias.[21] In 2021, he partnered with University of Colorado Anschutz's School of Dental Medicine on a specialized corrective procedure and highlighted the work publicly for others with the condition.[1]
