Which one?@pegasus2 did u notice the twist 2 syndromes one of them results in hella body hair. Which would finally explain the increased body hair on men and head loss as they age. Like wow. We legit discovered the f*****g problem and no research is being done?
Barber say syndromeWhich one?
Found a balding guy with a deletion in TWIST1. (source)Saethra chotzen disease. Low and or dysfunctioning twist1. Results in zero recession in all including adult males at least based on all the online presentations.
His daughter had a deletion of 18 base pairs so I guess he has the same. He doesn't have craniosynostosis though, and is mostly unaffected. The right eye was unaffected in both him and his daughter. Perhaps Twist activity in his scalp is unaffected by this deletion?
Yeah, in his case the one functional copy is apparently enough to avoid craniosynostosis. Differences are due to genetic background effects, I guess.His daughter had a deletion of 18 base pairs so I guess he has the same. He doesn't have craniosynostosis though, and is mostly unaffected.

I've been browsing cases of SCS all night on fb and lit. The vast majority have no hair loss. 3 or 4 have hair loss including this man.Uhm lol
!! off topic !! (I hope it will not break the rules, if it does, please delete this post)I came across a similar syndrome to SCS called Gorlin-Chaudhry-Moss Syndrome. It is described as presenting with low hairline with abundant and coarse scalp hair. It is thought to be caused by inhibition of mitochondrial transport.
