Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H) is a rare form of congenital alopecia, which can be caused by mutations in lipase H (LIPH), lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6 (LPAR6/P2RY5) or keratin 25 (KRT25) genes. We present a 32-year-old woman with typical clinical features of ARWH. Hair microscopy was performed to observe differences between the patient's hair and a normal sample. Next-generation...
