Wolf Man Syndrome

 Hypertrichosis (Ambras Syndrome) is a genetic disorder that causes large amounts of hair to grow all over the body or in one spot.

 Hypertrichosis is caused by a mutation in the human genome. It is spread by genes shown in the diagram below.

 The only real treatment is hair removal which can be done by cutting, waxing, or laser removal. This helps but the hair grows even with laser hair removal the hair still grows back.

 The first recorded case of Hypertrichosis was in  The mans name was Petrus Gonsalvus.  The location was in the Canary Islands.
