X-linked hypertrichosis, also known as X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis, is a hereditary disorders characterized by generalized congenital hypertrichosis and thick eyebrows.{{cite book |author=Rapini, Ronald P. |author2=Bolognia, Jean L. |author3=Jorizzo, Joseph L. |title=Dermatology: 2-Volume Set |publisher=Mosby |location=St. Louis |year=2007 |pages=1008 |isbn=978-1-4160-2999-1 }}

Signs and symptoms

Hypertrichosis is characterized as excessive hair growth anywhere on the body, in either men or women.{{cite web | last1=Saleh | first1=Dahlia | last2=Yarrarapu | first2=Siva Naga S. | last3=Cook | first3=Christopher | title=Hypertrichosis | publisher=StatPearls Publishing | date=2023-08-16 | pmid=30521275 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK534854/ | access-date=2024-04-27}} X-linked hypertrichosis affects males more than females.{{cite journal | last1=Macías-Flores | first1=M.

Causes

X-linked hypertrichosis was first mapped in chromosome Xq24-q27.1 in a Mexican family; however, the underlying genetic facts remain unknown.{{Cite journal|last1=Zhu|first1=Hongwen|last2=Shang|first2=Dandan|last3=Sun|first3=Miao|last4=Choi|first4=Sunju|last5=Liu|first5=Qing|last6=Hao|first6=Jiajie|last7=Figuera|first7=Luis E.|last8=Zhang|first8=Feng|last9=Choy|first9=Kwong Wai|last10=Ao|first10=Yang|last11=Liu|first11=Yang|date=2011-06-10|title=X-Linked Congenital Hypertrichosis Syndrome Is Associated with Interchromosomal Insertions Mediated by a Human-Specific Palindrome near SOX3|journal=American Journal of Human Genetics|volume=88|issue=6|pages=819–826|doi=10.1016/j.ajhg.2011.05.004|issn=0002-9297|pmc=3113246|pmid=21636067}} X-linked hypertrichosis is inherited in an X-linked dominant pattern of inheritance.
