One known cause of hypertrichosis cubiti is Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome.

Hypertrichosis cubiti (also known as "hairy elbow syndrome") is a cutaneous condition characterized by multiple terminal hairs on both elbows in children.

The main characteristics of 49,XXXXX are intellectual disability, short stature and craniofacial abnormalities. Other physical traits include the following:

- Small head

- Ear abnormalities

- Widely spaced eyes with upward slanting palpebral fissures and epicanthal folds

- Short neck

- Broad nose with a depressed nasal bridge

- Hyperextension of the elbows

- Dental abnormalities and cleft palate

- Clinodactyly of the 5th finger

- Deformities of the feet

- Heart defects

Pigmented hairy epidermal nevus syndrome is a cutaneous condition characterized by a Becker nevus, ipsilateral hypoplasia of the breast, and skeletal defects such as scoliosis.

The skeletal structures of individuals who have this disorder may have pronounced deformities. As reported by several medical doctors, the following features are commonly found in people who suffer from nail–patella syndrome:

Bones and joints

- Patellar involvement is present in approximately 90% of patients; however, patellar aplasia occurs in only 20%.

- In instances in which the patellae are smaller or luxated, the knees may be unstable.

- The elbows may have limited motion (e.g., limited pronation, supination, extension).

- Subluxation of the radial head may occur.

- Arthrodysplasia of the elbows is reported in approximately 90% of patients.

- General hyperextension of the joints can be present.

- Exostoses arising from the posterior aspect of the iliac bones ("iliac horns") are present in as many as 80% of patients; this finding is considered pathognomonic for the syndrome.

- Other reported bone changes include scoliosis, scapular hypoplasia, and the presence of cervical ribs.

Kidney issues may arise such as proteinuria and nephritis. Proteinuria is usually the first sign of renal involvement and either rapidly or years after suffering from asymptomatic proteinuria, renal failure occurs in around 5% of NPS patients. Hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and thin tooth enamel are associated with NPS, but whether these are related or simply coincidences are unclear.

The following signs are associated with the disease

- Abnormal heart development

- Abnormal skeletal development

- Hypermobile joints

- Large fingers

- Knock-knees

- Widely spaced teeth

- Bell-shaped chest (flared ribs)

- Compression of spinal cord

- Enlarged heart

- Dwarfism

- Heart murmur

- below average height for certain age

Patients with Morquio syndrome appear healthy at birth. They often present with spinal deformity, and there is growth retardation and possibly genu valgum in the second or third year of life. A patient with Morquio's syndrome is likely to die at an early age. Symptoms of the disease may include:

- Short stature and short neck (caused by flat vertebrae)

- Moderate kyphosis or scoliosis

- Mild pectus carinatum ("pigeon chest")

- Cervical spine: odontoid hypoplasia, atlanto-axial instability; may be associated with myelopathy with gradual loss of walking ability

- Joint laxity, mild dysostosis multiplex, dysplastic hips, large unstable knees, large elbows and wrists, and flat feet

- The combined abnormalities usually result in a duck-waddling gait

- Mid-face hypoplasia and mandibular protrusion

- Thin tooth enamel

- Corneal clouding

- Mild hepatosplenomegaly

Regarding the life span of people with Morquio, some can die as early as 2 or 3 years old, and some can live up to 60 or 70 years old. The oldest known person with Morquio syndrome type IV A was Kenneth D. Martin, who was born in Osage City, Kansas, USA and was 81 years old at the time of his death

“Branchio” refers to the branchial arches, also known as the pharyngeal arches, of the affected individual. The branchial arches are structures in the developing embryo that give rise to certain tissues in the neck and facial area. In individuals affected by this condition, the branchial arches fail to develop properly. This leads to some of the physical conditions of this syndrome, which include abnormal patches of skin on the neck and face region and can be abnormally hairy, thin or red and with a high number of blood vessels. “Oculo” refers to the eyes. Individuals have vision impairment due to several malformations in the eyes such as small eyeballs, blockage in the tear ducts or lacking eyes completely. “Facial” refers to the face; those affected can have several abnormalities in that region. These abnormalities include a cleft lip, a cleft palate which is an opening in the roof of the mouth, widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism), sharp corners of the mouth that point upward, a broad nose that can include a flattened tip, along with several deformations of both the external and middle ear structures. This syndrome is restricted to the face, but it can also cause underdeveloped or malformed kidneys.

49,XXXXX, also known as pentasomy X, penta X, or XXXXX syndrome, is a chromosomal aneuploidy where females have five X chromosomes rather than the normal two. It is unclear exactly how rare it is, but it appears to affect fewer than 1 in 100,000 women.

People who are affected by Liebenberg Syndrome suffer from three main symptoms:

1. Dysplasia (improper formation) of the bony components of the elbow

2. Abnormal shape of carpal bones

3. Brachydactyly, a symptom where the fingers and toes are shorter than normal.

Sufferers usually have long, thin fingers and toes with contractures preventing straightening and limiting movement. Contractures also affect hips, elbows, knees and ankles. They also have unusual external ears that appear crumpled. Contractures may be present from birth and may appear as a club foot. Long bone fractures may also form a part of the syndrome, though the evidence for this is limited to the case report level.

Auricular hypertrichosis ("hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita", "hypertrichosis pinnae auris") is a genetic condition expressed as long and strong hairs growing from the helix of the pinna.

Hairy palms and soles are both a type of cutaneous condition characterized by a hereditary hypertrichosis affecting the palms and soles. This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.

Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome (BOFS) is a disease that arises from a mutation in the TFAP2A gene. It is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that starts to affect a child's development before birth. Symptoms of this condition include skin abnormalities on the neck, deformities of the ears and eyes, and other distinctive facial features such a cleft lip along with slow growth, mental retardation and premature graying of hair.

Gordon syndrome is an extremely rare disorder that belongs to a group of genetic disorders known as the distal arthrogryposes. These disorders typically involve stiffness and impaired mobility of certain joints of the lower arms and legs (distal extremities) including the knees, elbows, wrists, and/or ankles. These joints tend to be permanently fixed in a bent or flexed position (contractures). Gordon syndrome is characterized by the permanent fixation of several fingers in a flexed position (camptodactyly), abnormal bending inward of the foot (clubfoot or talipes), and, less frequently, incomplete closure of the roof of the mouth (cleft palate). In some cases, additional abnormalities may also be present. The range and severity of symptoms may vary from case to case. Gordon syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

Symptoms are related to defects in connective tissue.

- Congenital anterior dislocation of the knees

- Dislocation of hips and shoulders

- Flattened facial appearance

- Prominent forehead

- Depressed nasal bridge

- Club foot

- Cervical kyphosis

Becker's nevus (also known as "Becker's melanosis", "Becker's pigmentary hamartoma", "nevoid melanosis", and "pigmented hairy epidermal nevus") is a skin disorder predominantly affecting males. The nevus can be present at birth, but more often shows up around puberty. It generally first appears as an irregular pigmentation (melanosis or hyperpigmentation) on the torso or upper arm (though other areas of the body can be affected), and gradually enlarges irregularly, becoming thickened and often hairy (hypertrichosis). The nevus is due to an overgrowth of the epidermis, pigment cells (melanocytes), and hair follicles. This form of nevus was first documented in 1948 by American dermatologist Samuel William Becker (1894–1964).

Pyle disease may be confused with craniometaphyseal dysplasia. The two, however, are clinically, radiographically, and genetically distinct from one another.

In humans, hair is commonly present on all the basal segments of the digits and invariably absent from all the terminal ones. On the middle segments, there is wide fluctuation with apparent familial and racial tendencies. Hair is present on the middle segment of the fingers more frequently than on the middle segment of the toes. Hair is most often found on the middle segment of the fourth finger.

Nail–patella syndrome (NPS) (also known as "HOOD syndrome") is a genetic disorder that results in small, poorly developed nails and kneecaps, but can also affect many other areas of the body, such as the elbows, chest, and hips. The name "nail–patella" can be very misleading because the syndrome often affects many other areas of the body, including even the production of certain proteins. Those affected by NPS may have one or more affected areas of the body, and its severity varies depending on the individual. It is also referred to as iliac horn syndrome, hereditary onychoosteodysplasia (HOOD syndrome), Fong disease or Turner–Kieser syndrome.

Diagnosis of NPS can be made at birth, but is common for it to remain undiagnosed for several generations. While there is no cure available for NPS, treatment is available and recommended.

These symptoms were found in rare cases of Larsen syndrome.

- Cataracts

- Cleft palate

- Extra bones of wrist

- Malocclusion

- Microdontia and hypodontia

- Complete agenesis of anus

- uterus

- Bifid tongue

It is an autosomal recessive disorder in which mild clinical manifestations contrast with radiological appearances of gross metaphyseal undermodeling. Most patients present with mild genu valgum. The elbows are unable to extend fully. There may be widening of the lower femora and clavicles. Bones can sometimes be fragile, but fracturing is usually not common. Patients may present with dental caries, mandibular prognathism, spinal alignment, and disproportionate limb lengthening. Mental development, physical development, and height are usually normal.

LCCS1 is characterized by total lack of the movements of the fetus, and is detectable at 13th week of pregnancy. It is accompanied by oedema, small chin, small lungs, crooked joints and occasional skin webs of the neck and elbows. The fetus has characteristic pattern of malpositions recognizable even in severely macerated fetuses with club feet and hyperextension of the knees but the elbows and wrists showing flexion contractures.

Neuropathological analysis shows lack of anterior horn motoneurons and severe atrophy of the ventral spinal cord. The skeletal muscles are severely hypoplastic.

Gordon syndrome (GS), or distal arthrogryposis type 3, is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder characterized by cleft palate and congenital contractures of the hands and feet.

Ear hair generally refers to the terminal hair arising from follicles inside the external auditory meatus in humans. In its broader sense, "ear hair" may also include the fine vellus hair covering much of the ear, particularly at the prominent parts of the anterior ear, or even the abnormal hair growth as seen in hypertrichosis and hirsutism. Medical research on the function of ear hair is currently very scarce.

Hair growth within the ear canal is often observed to increase in older men, together with increased growth of nose hair. Visible hair that protrudes from the ear canal is sometimes trimmed for cosmetic reasons. Excessive hair growth within or on the ear is known medically as "auricular hypertrichosis". Some men, particularly in the male population of India, have coarse hair growth along the lower portion of the helix, a condition referred to as "having "hairy pinnae"" ("hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita").

Liebenberg Syndrome is a rare autosomal genetic disease that involves a deletion mutation upstream of the PITX1 gene, which is one that's responsible for the body's organization, specifically in forming lower limbs. In animal studies, when this deletion was introduced to developing birds, their wing buds were noted to take on limb-like structures.

The condition was first described by Dr. F. Liebenberg in 1973 while he followed multiple generations of a South African family, but it has since been noticed in other family lineages across the world.
