Abstract:Background
Mutation in the lipase H (LIPH) gene is a main reason for autosomal recessive woolly hair (ARWH)/hypotrichosis. Although some studies reported that topical minoxidil could improve ARWH, an effective treatment method for this disease is still lacking.
Aim
We attempt to explore potential treatment options for ARWH.
Materials & Methods
A female 6‐year‐old child was diagnosed with ARWH/hypotrichosis caused by LIPH mutations. And she was treated with combined treatment of botanical extracts.
