AB  - Loose anagen hair syndrome (LAHS) is a condition of sparse, short hair that is 
      easily and painlessly extracted from the scalp. Since it was first described in 
      the 1980s, it is considered a rare, sporadic condition found predominantly in 
      females. Since then, there have been multiple reports of LAHS occurring in 
      families, suggesting an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern may also be 
      present. An autosomal dominant trait would suggest a more equal sex ratio. We 
      report a case of a boy diagnosed with LAHS and propose that it may be 
      underdiagnosed in males simply because of hairstyle differences between boys and 
      girls.
