    GlossaryWoodhouse-Sakati syndrome

    rare genetic disorder causing hair loss, diabetes, and other symptoms

    Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a combination of symptoms including hair loss (alopecia), diabetes, hearing loss, intellectual disability, and hypogonadism (underdeveloped sex organs). It is caused by mutations in the DCAF17 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations.
