Background: Woolly Hair Syndrome (WHS) is a rare birth condition that affects the structure of hair in non-black people. The pathogenesis is not yet defined. It is postulated that the hair follicle's desmosomes (specifically desmoplaquine, placoglobin and placofilin-1, which are cell structural proteins that keep the adhesion among close cells) would be altered in this pathology, leading to fragility in the cellular union.

Circumscribed palmar or plantar hypokeratosis is a focal disorder of keratinization that consists of a reduction in the thickness of the corneal layer of the epidermis of palms or soles. Although it is considered a benign entity, the thinning of the stratum corneum facilitates ultraviolet damage in the affected skin, which may result in an increased risk of developing focal epidermal dysplasia. Other factors, such as immunosuppression in transplanted patients, may play a role as well.
