Abstract
Hypotrichosis Simplex (HS) is a monogenic hair loss disorder that presents with childhood onset of diffuse and progressive scalp/body hair loss. Literature has identified mutations that cause autosomal-dominant and autosomal-recessive forms of this disorder. We present a rare case of hypotrichosis simplex in a patient with a mutation in lanosterol synthase (LSS). In our case, a 13-year-old Caucasian female presented to the clinic with pronounced scalp alopecia and thinning of the eyebrows since birth.
