HYPOTRICHOSIS SIMPLEX OF THE SCALP

Alternate names

HYPOTRICHOSIS SIMPLEX OF THE SCALP Is also known as hypotrichosis, spanish type, htss1, hypotrichosis simplex of the scalp 1, htss, hereditary hypotrichosis simplex of the scalp

Description

Hypotrichosis simplex of the scalp (HSS) is characterized by diffuse progressive hair loss that is confined to the scalp.

Most common symptoms of HYPOTRICHOSIS SIMPLEX OF THE SCALP

  • Alopecia
  • Hypotrichosis
  • Sparse scalp hair
  • Hypotrichosis of the scalp

PURE HAIR AND NAIL ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA

Alternate names

PURE HAIR AND NAIL ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA Is also known as hair-nail ectodermal dysplasia, hned, phned, ectodermal dysplasia, 'pure' hair/nail type

Description

Pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia is characterised by the association of onychodystrophy and severe hypotrichosis, which is mainly limited to the scalp but may also affect the eyelashes and eyebrows. Less than 20 cases have been reported so far. The mode of transmission is autosomal dominant.

Most common symptoms of PURE HAIR AND NAIL ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA

  • Alopecia
  • Hyperhidrosis
  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Sparse hair
  • Papule

WOOLLY HAIR

Alternate names

WOOLLY HAIR Is also known as wooly hair, familial woolly hair syndrome, hereditary woolly hair syndrome, familial wooly hair syndrome, hereditary wooly hair syndrome

Description

Woolly hair is a rare congenital abnormality of the structure of the scalp hair marked by extreme kinkiness of the hair.

Most common symptoms of WOOLLY HAIR

  • Strabismus
  • Cataract
  • Hyperhidrosis
  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Nevus

ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA 7, HAIR/NAIL TYPE; ECTD7

Description

Some ectodermal dysplasias are here classified as congenital disorders characterized by abnormal development in 2 or more ectodermal structures (hair, nails, teeth, and sweat glands) without other systemic findings. Ectodermal dysplasia of the hair/nail type is a rare congenital condition characterized by hypotrichosis and nail dystrophy without nonectodermal or other ectodermal manifestations.

Most common symptoms of ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA 7, HAIR/NAIL TYPE; ECTD7

  • Alopecia
  • Hyperhidrosis
  • Nail dystrophy
  • Hypotrichosis
  • Ectodermal dysplasia

HYPOTRICHOSIS 3; HYPT3

Alternate names

HYPOTRICHOSIS 3; HYPT3 Is also known as hypotrichosis simplex of the scalp 2, htss2

Description

Hypotrichosis simplex can affect all body hair (generalized; see {605389}) or be limited to the scalp. Usually patients with the scalp-limited form of hypotrichosis present with normal hair at birth; they experience a progressive, gradual loss of scalp hair beginning at the middle of the first decade and leading to almost complete loss of scalp hair by the third decade. A few sparse, fine, short hairs remain in some individuals. Body hair, beard, eyebrows, axillary hair, teeth, and nails develop normally. Light and electron microscopy of hairs from patients with early hypotrichosis simplex revealed no structural changes, whereas hairs from patients with advanced hypotrichosis showed focal areas of defective cuticular structure. Men and women are equally affected (summary by Betz et al., 2000).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of nonsyndromic hypotrichosis, see HYPT1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of HYPOTRICHOSIS 3; HYPT3

  • Hyperhidrosis
  • Sparse hair
  • Hypotrichosis
  • Sparse scalp hair
  • Hypotrichosis of the scalp
