This report describes a rare case of congenital generalized hypertrichosis terminalis in a six-year-old boy with gingival hyperplasia, a coarse face, congenital hydronephrosis, and a heterozygous deletion on chromosome 17q12.

This article discusses the rare condition of hypertrichosis, highlighting a case of a 10-year-old boy with congenital hair growth and emphasizing the need for patient support due to limited treatment options.

Fibroblast bioelectric signaling can promote hair growth and may help treat hair loss.

This case report observed that after 6 months of treatment with topical cetirizine and oral vitamin D, hair density and quality improved in three girls with congenital hypotrichosis due to ectodermal dysplasia.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.
