Description: (OMIM) Localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis is characterized by fragile hairs that break easily, leaving short, sparse scalp hairs. The disorder affects the trunk and extremities as well as the scalp, and the eyebrows and eyelashes may also be involved, ...
Clinical Description OMIM Kljuic et al. (2003) reported 2 consanguineous Pakistani pedigrees with autosomal recessive localized hypotrichosis. Affected members displayed hypotrichosis restricted to the scalp, chest, arms, and legs. Facial hair, including eyebrows and beard, was less dense, and axillary hair, ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Kljuic et al. (2003) identified an identical homozygous 5-kb deletion within the DSG4 gene (607892.0001) in affected individuals from 2 Pakistani families with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis (LAH).

In 6 affected members of a large consanguineous ...
