This case report describes a rare instance of familial congenital atrichia in a 16-year-old girl, possibly involving a genetic component, as both her parents exhibit similar clinical features.

In this study, the authors emphasize the importance of accurately diagnosing congenital atrichia with papules—a condition marked by hair loss and papular skin lesions—differentiating it from other similar disorders to prevent unnecessary treatments and inform families about its benign but irreversible nature.

The document emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying and classifying genetic hair disorders to help diagnose related health conditions.

This article discusses congenital atrichia and presents no new clinical findings.

In this report, a preterm neonate was found to have total irreversible hair loss due to congenital atrichia, confirmed by a mutation in the human hairless gene on chromosome 8p22, illustrating this rare autosomal recessive disorder.
