A 3-year-old girl has a rare condition causing sparse hair and nail issues, with minimal improvement from treatment.
research Ultra‐structural hair alterations in F riedreich's ataxia: A scanning electron microscopic investigation
Friedreich's ataxia causes thin, weak hair with surface damage and cavities.
research The medusa head: Dermoscopic diagnosis of woolly hair syndrome
A man with Woolly Hair Syndrome had very curly, fragile hair, and doctors used a special scalp examination to diagnose him without invasive tests.
research Morphological analyses in fragility of pili torti with Björnstad syndrome
Pili torti hair is fragile due to loose keratin filaments and weak disulfide bonds.
research Congenital atrichia with papular lesions
Congenital atrichia with papular lesions causes permanent hair loss and skin bumps due to a gene mutation.
research Premature termination of hair follicle morphogenesis and accelerated hair follicle cycling in Iasi congenital atrichia (fzica) mice points to fuzzy as a key element of hair cycle control
The fuzzy gene is crucial for controlling hair growth cycles.
research Congenital hypotrichosis due to short anagen
Some children are born with unusually short, fine hair because their hair growth phase is short, but this often gets better by itself during puberty.
research A novel missense mutation (C622G) in the zinc‐finger domain of the human hairless gene associated with congenital atrichia with papular lesions
A new gene mutation causes a rare type of hair loss.
research Acquired pili torti--a structural hair shaft defect in anorexia nervosa.
Anorexia nervosa may cause a hair defect called pili torti due to malnutrition and high vitamin A levels.

Two cases showed skin abnormalities without bone or neural defects.
research Vesicle Formation and Follicular Root Sheath Separation in Mice Homozygous for Deleterious Alleles at the Balding (bal) Locus
A mutation in mice causes hair loss and skin issues due to a defect in a gene affecting cell adhesion.
research De novo mutations in monilethrix
Specific keratin gene mutations can cause monilethrix.
research Vainas peripilares
The girl's "dandruff" was actually harmless hair casts, not a hygiene issue.
research Diffuse hypotrichosis from early childhood
The girl has a genetic hair condition causing thin hair since childhood.
research Congenital atrichia with papular lesions resulting from novel mutations in human hairless gene in four consanguineous families
Mutations in the hairless gene cause a rare form of permanent hair loss.

Grafted human scalp samples on mice can produce human hair, useful for studying hair genetics.
research Coexistence of Woolly Hair and Monilethrix: A Cases Study
Two sisters have rare hair disorders causing short, fragile, kinky hair.
research "Curly" Wood and Tiger Tails
Tiger tail bands in hair are caused by wavy hair fibers with melanin, unlike straight fibers in normal hair.
research Independent DSG4 frameshift variants in cats with hair shaft dystrophy
Cats with abnormal hair had DSG4 gene changes causing hair problems.

Three siblings had both Vohwinkel's disease and congenital alopecia, with no effective treatment.
research [Trichothiodystrophy: a morphological and biochemical study].
Trichothiodystrophy involves brittle hair due to low sulfur amino acids, not a transport defect.
research [Studies on monilethrix].
Monilethrix is not caused by a metabolic defect.

A specific gene mutation causes complete hair loss without other health issues.
research Aberrant connective tissue sheath contraction drives premature hair follicle regression by inducing progenitor cell depletion in androgenetic alopecia
Abnormal contraction of connective tissue in hair follicles causes hair loss by killing off important cells, and treating this could improve hair growth.
