Description : Hereditary hypotrichosis simplex (HHS) is a rare form of nonsyndromic hereditary hypotrichosis
without characteristic hair shaft anomalies. Affected individuals typically show normal
hair at birth, but hair loss and thinning of the hair shaft start during early childhood
and progress with age. HHS can be largely divided into 2 forms: the scalp-limited
form (146520) and the generalized form, in which all body hair is affected. HHS is
characterized by progressive hair follicle miniaturization, which is a typical feature
of androgenetic alopecia (see 109200). HHS can be inherited either as an autosomal
dominant or autosomal recessive trait (see HYPT8, 278150) (summary by Shimomura et
al., 2010). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Nonsyndromic Hypotrichosis Forms of nonsyndromic
hypotrichosis include HYPT1; HYPT2 (146520), caused by mutation in the corneodesmosin
gene (CDSN; 602593) on chromosome 6p21.3; HYPT3 (613981), caused by mutation in the
keratin-74 gene (KRT74; 608248) on chromosome 12q13; HYPT4 (146550), caused by mutation
in upstream regulatory regions of the hairless gene (HR; 602302) on chromosome 8p21.2;
HYPT5 (612841), mapped to chromosome 1p21-q21; HYPT6 (607903); caused by mutation
in the desmoglein-4 gene (DSG4; 607892) on chromosome 18q12; HYPT7 (604379), caused
by mutation in the lipase H gene (LIPH; 607365) on chromosome 3q27-q28; HYPT8 (278150),
caused by mutation in the LPAR6 gene (609239) on chromosome 13q14; HYPT9 (614237),
mapped to chromosome 10q11.23-q22.3; and HYPT10 (614238), mapped to chromosome 7p22.3-p21.3.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the APC, downregulated by, 1 gene (APCDD1, 607479.0001);
