Presentation
Structural hair defects may be presented with a genetic disorder affecting hair growth or part of a congenital syndrome or may indicate underlying metabolic disorders, or may be associated with other diseases. [e-ijd.org]
EEM Syndrome Clinical Characteristics Ocular Features: Granular pigmentation and a grayish coloration of the retina may be present. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
However, the case discussed here had only one major criterion of NBCCS at the time of presentation. [ijtrichology.com]
The nine affected adults presented with sparse, thin and short hair. Somewhat less sparse and longer hair was observed in the two affected young children in the third generation. [doi.org]
Hence we conclude that there is large spectrum of clinical presentation, early identification of this disorder aid to customise treatment, no major response to current treatment strategies, counselling of the parents regarding the present child as well [casereports.in]
Skin
- Sparse to No Eyebrows
The scalp hair is sparse to absent, eyebrows and eyelashes are normal or short and sparse, and the body hairs are normal or sparse. [nature.com]
The eyebrows, eyelashes, and other body hair may be sparse as well. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Affected individuals have sparse hair on the scalp, sparse-to-absent eyebrows and eyelashes, and sparse body hair. Affected male individuals have normal beard hair (1–3). [medicaljournals.se]

Affected individuals from both LAH and AH families have normal beard hair (in males), and sparse to absent eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair. [jmg.bmj.com]
- Sparse Eyebrows
In most cases body hair, axillary hair, and public hair were also sparse. Eyebrows, eyelashes, and beard hairs were not affected. Under light microscopy, the bulb portion of the plucked hair showed dystrophic features and was miniaturized. [omim.org]
The eyebrows may be hypoplastic and the eyelashes likewise are sparse. The lid fissures often slant down and telecanthus has been noted. The distance between the two eyes appears reduced. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Clinical features of affected individuals with this form of alopecia include: shedding of normal scalp hair several months after birth with failure to regrow; appearance of skin papules within the first year of life; sparse eyebrows and eyelashes; lack [jpma.org.pk]

Treatment

Treatment Treatment Options: No known treatment has been reported. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Treatment Unfortunately, there really is no treatment for most forms of hypotrichosis as they are genetic or congenital issues, which are often hard or impossible to treat. Some exceptions exist, however. [study.com]

A powerful approach to advance our understanding of the pathophysiology of hair loss is to identify the genes underlying isolated and syndromic forms of hair loss. [jpma.org.pk]
