Woolly hair in tricho-dento-osseous syndrome

Héctor Perandones-González et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2023 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Tricho-dento-osseous syndrome (TDOS) is a rare ectodermal dysplasia caused by mutations in the DLX3 gene and it is not usually included as a cause of syndromic woolly hair. We present a new case of TDOS with a novel DLX3 variant and woolly hair.
