X-linked dominant congenital generalised hypertrichosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/633463315

X-linked congenital generalised hypertrichosis is an extremely rare type of hypertrichosis lanuginosa congenita, a congenital skin disease, which is characterised by hair overgrowth on the entire body in males, and mild and asymmetric hair overgrowth in females. It is associated with a mild facial dysmorphism (anteverted nostrils, moderate prognathism), and, in a kindred, it was also associated with dental anomalies and deafness.
