Alopecia Universalis Congenita; Alunc
Description
Alopecia universalis congenita is a severe autosomal recessive form of alopecia characterized by a complete absence of hair development affecting all scalp and body hair (Nothen et al., 1998).This rare disorder is clearly distinct from alopecia areata (AA1 ), which has an autoimmune basis with probable genetic predisposition.
