Syndromes Associated with Hair Disorders.

Abstract

Syndromes, defined as clusters of consistent symptoms, are vital in understanding diseases and disorders. The interplay between hair and clinical syndromes is examined in brief here, emphasizing the need for a unified data resource to aid clinicians and postgraduate students. The syndromes are categorized into hypertrichosis, characterized by excessive hair growth, and hypotrichosis, defined by a lack of hair. For hypertrichosis, various syndromes such as Ambras, Cantú, and Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome are elucidated, highlighting their distinct clinical features and genetic underpinnings. Hypotrichosis syndromes include Bjornstad's, Netherton and Rothmund-Thomson syndromes. By categorizing and elucidating the array of hair-related syndromes, this comprehensive review aims to enhance clinical understanding and improve patient care in this domain.
