Sumario: | H syndrome is a systemic inherited autosomal recessive histiocytosis, with characteristic cutaneous findings accompanying systemic manifestations and a most common genetic mutation (OMIM 612391) as SLC29A3. The term “H Syndrome” is representative of presentation with hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, hepatosplenomegaly, heart anomalies, hearing loss, hypogonadism, low height, and, occasionally, hyperglycemia. H syndrome is new and growing entity in medicine. This syndrome is not specific to a region or a nationality. There are very few treatment experiences on H Syndrome patients and most of them are unsatisfactory apart from hypertrichosis, which is able to treat almost permanently by hair removal lasers. Latest findings suggest that there is possibility of prevention of short stature or other cutaneous or systemic complications in this syndrome with earlier diagnosis and treatment. We searched Medline, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar, up to now and reviewed previous published papers with emphasis on treatment methods and its effects on certain common symptoms. |
