Presentation
Congenital TN may be present at birth, appear within the first year of life, or present as a symptom of an underlying metabolic disorder like argininosuccinic aciduria, Menkes’ kinky hair syndrome, Netherton syndrome, and Laron syndrome at the age of [capillaroscopia.it]
Uncombable hair syndrome Pili annulati Monilethrix Loose anagen hair syndrome Menkes kinky hair syndrome Case 4 27 year old white male presents for full body skin exam. [dermcast.tv]
Woolly hair may be an inherited as an isolated condition ( OMIM ID #194300 ) or present as part of a syndrome. [dermnetnz.org]
Patients presenting with woolly hair must be examined completely to rule out cardiofaciocutaneous and Noonan syndrome. We present a 5-year-old with Type A woolly hair nevus. [ijpd.in]
Therefore, to distinguish between the entities it is important to take account of the clinical presentation and also examine a blood film for the presence of abnormal neutrophil granulation, which is present in Chediak-Higashi but not Griscelli syndrome [jcp.bmj.com]

The pathophysiological mechanism resulting in this morphological abnormality has been examined using electron microscopic and histochemical methods, and is thought to be a consequence of “softening” of the hair cortex, possibly secondary to abnormal composition [jcp.bmj.com]
Prevention
All cases eventually evolved into androgenetic alopecia within a two to nine-year period, and 5% Minoxidil was ineffective in preventing the eventual hair loss. The effects of finesterinde (Propecia) have not been recorded in cases of APKH. [hairstylessolutions.blogspot.com]
The question of prevention is of particular importance, since hereditary deafness has not been and is not likely to be amenable to any kind of therapy. [jamanetwork.com]
Genetic mechanisms control the incorporation of copper into apoproteins and the processes that prevent toxic accumulation of copper in the body. Copper absorbed in excess of metabolic requirements is excreted through bile. [merckmanuals.com]
