T-cell Immunodeficiency, Congenital Alopecia, and Nail Dystrophy
T-cell immunodeficiency, congenital alopecia, and nail dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder characterised by compromised immune response, hair loss from birth, and abnormal nail development. T-cell immunodeficiency results in increased susceptibility to infections, while congenital alopecia presents as complete or partial scalp hair loss. Nail dystrophy manifests through irregular, brittle, or malformed nails.
