rare genetic condition causing hair loss and skin bumps

Atrichia with Papular Lesions (APL) is a rare genetic condition characterized by the complete absence of hair (atrichia) shortly after birth, followed by the development of small, firm bumps on the skin (papular lesions). This condition is caused by mutations in the HR gene, which is crucial for hair follicle development and cycling.
