Familial Congenital Generalized Hypertrichosis

The document described a rare case of familial congenital generalized hypertrichosis in an 18-year-old girl with extensive hair growth on her face, arms, legs, and back since birth. Her condition was inherited, as both her mother and maternal grandmother had similar hair growth. Despite normal hormone levels and no associated anomalies, the patient could not afford permanent hair removal treatments and continued with temporary methods like shaving and waxing. The condition was linked to an autosomal or X-linked dominant pattern of inheritance associated with chromosome x24-q27.1. Reporting such cases helps in understanding the inheritance patterns, epidemiology, and associated symptoms of this rare syndrome.
