research Clinical and Molecular Diagnostic Criteria of Congenital Atrichia with Papular Lesions11This paper originally appeared in issue 117:1662–1665, 2001. Following publication the authors indicated that important corrections at page proof were not taken in. To ensure that the paper is published as intended, the editors have decided to reproduce the contents in full.
Congenital atrichia with papular lesions is often misdiagnosed, and new diagnostic criteria can improve accuracy.
