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.

Progress (in a good way). How often did you take biotin? KarensAnon: I took biotin once daily. KarensAnon has made 3-month progress with the use of Minoxidil foam, 0.5mm micro-needling weekly, and biotin to combat hair loss which had started at age 19. They plan to further their treatment by adding finasteride soon.
