Description
This panel contains genes that cause syndromic and non-syndromic disorders that have hair abnormalities as a prominent feature of the condition. 

The conditions include: hypotrichosis, hair shaft disorders with/without hair fragility, ectodermal dysplasias, trichorhinophalangeal syndrome, and atrichia with papular lesions.
For hypertrichosis the Hypertrichosis syndromes gene panel is more suitable.

The panel was developed and is maintained by RMH and is a consensus panel used by VCGS.
