Congenital+Generalized+Hypertrichosis

Brandon Fain __Congenital Generalized Hypertrichosis__ ​ ​ Mode of Inheritance​: It is an X linked dominate trait. Females have a 50% chance of passing it off to offspring. Males will pass it to their daughters but never their sons. ​Congenital means you have it at birth. Generalized means that it occurs over the entire body. And hypertrichosis describes hair growth on the body in large amounts that most people would consider abnormal.
 * //Also known as Wolfman Syndrome or Werewolf Syndrome. //

It affects the victim by covering them with large amounts of hair all over their body except the palms of their hands and soles of their feet, so it is an external disorder.

If you had the disorder most people would make you feel like a freak. People with this disorder were once used in circuses as "freaks". You could describe this to someone else by just saying its name, Wolfman Syndrome.

The common treatments are shaving, plucking, epilation, depilation, electrolysis and laser removal.  But there is no single cure for congenital generalized hypertrichosis because it depends on the person. You are born with the disorder so symptoms and detection appear immediatley. Carriers can be detected if they have the disorder and you can tell if they have it because they will be covered in hair.
 * There are really no problems with this disorder except lots and lots of hair all over your body. Its not physically limiting, life-threatning, or fatal, if you had it you would be fairly safe from dying from it. It is more common among men than women.
