“…The isolated hair loss disorders with variable clinical features, segregate either in autosomal dominant or recessive pattern [9]. Over the past few years, five genes including hairless (HR, MIM 225060) [2,11], desmoglein-4 (DSG4, MIM 607892) [25,43], lipase-H (LIPH, MIM 607365) [4,22,30], lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6 (LPAR6/P2RY5, MIM 609239) [7,34,36,39,42], and desmocollin-3 (DSC3, MIM 600271) [6] associated with the isolated (non-syndromic) forms of hair loss disorders have been characterized. In syndromic form of hair loss disorders, hair loss is associated with other abnormalities including impaired sweating, nail dystrophy, deformed or absent teeth, mental retardation, etc.…”
