title: Noninfectious hair disorders in children.
abstract: This review highlights advances in our understanding of the genetic basis for alopecia areata. New findings in trichothiodystrophy, Bazex syndrome, and Netherton's syndrome are also discussed. Finally, abnormalities of the hair, such as atrophic midline bald patches, generalized follicular hamartoma, and loose anagen syndrome, may be associated with developmental defects.
