    A 3-year-old Caucasian girl with consanguineous parents was evaluated for short hair since birth. Despite normal hair density, she had numerous vellus and intermediate hairs, with a trichogram showing 31% telogen hairs. Her hair, which had never been cut, had a maximum length of 4 cm, with no signs of breakage or abnormalities, indicating a diagnosis of short anagen syndrome.
