Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Extreme hirsutism with gingival fibromatosis follows a dominant pattern of inheritance (Weski, 1920; Garn and Hatch, 1950). There is no necessary relationship between the age of development of the gingival changes and the hypertrichosis. The latter may be ...
Clinical Description OMIM Laurence (1857) described a 'bearded and hairy female' who was being exhibited at the Regent-Gallery, a 23-year-old Mexican woman who was 'clothed with hairs' over her entire body except for the palms and the soles. She was 4 ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Sun et al. (2009) performed copy number variation (CNV) analysis in 1 affected individual from each of 3 Han Chinese families with congenital generalized hypertrichosis without gingival hyperplasia. They detected genomic microdeletions on chromosome 17q24.2-q24.3 of different sizes ...
