Monarch Initiative:	MONDO:0022316
OMIM®:	234030
Orphanet:	ORPHA1408

Definition

Syndrome with the association of stubby, coarse, sparse and fragile hair, eyebrows and eyelashes with photosensitivity and nonprogressive intellectual deficit, without a demonstrable metabolic aberration. It has been described in three sisters born to consanguineous parents. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Clinical features

From HPO

Intellectual disability

MedGen UID:: 811461
•Concept ID:: C3714756
•: Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction

Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.

Sparse eyebrow

MedGen UID:: 371332
•Concept ID:: C1832446
•: Finding

Decreased density/number of eyebrow hairs.

Brittle hair

MedGen UID:: 120480
•Concept ID:: C0263490
•: Disease or Syndrome

Fragile, easily breakable hair, i.e., with reduced tensile strength.

Coarse hair

MedGen UID:: 124454
•Concept ID:: C0277959
•: Finding

Hair shafts are rough in texture.

Cutaneous photosensitivity

MedGen UID:: 87601
•Concept ID:: C0349506
•: Pathologic Function

An increased sensitivity of the skin to light. Photosensitivity may result in a rash upon exposure to the sun (which is known as photodermatosis). Photosensitivity can be diagnosed by phototests in which light is shone on small areas of skin.
