    TLDR Some family members had a condition with both loose hair and unique eye changes, possibly indicating a new type of ectodermal dysplasia.
    The document detailed a study conducted 19 years ago on a family of 11 individuals with Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome (SCAF) and macular dystrophy. Two members had SCAF without any eye changes. Four members had eye changes, with two sisters having SCAF and pigmented dispersions in the back of the retina, along with macular coloboma. Two brothers had SCAF and pigmented dispersions in the back of the eye, but without coloboma. The study suggested that this combination of symptoms might represent a new classification within ectodermal dysplasias.
