What is the definition of Hypogonadism Primary Partial Alopecia?

Hypogonadism primary partial alopecia, also known as primary hypergonadotropic hypogonadism-partial alopecia syndrome, is very rare inherited (genetic) disorder characterized by delayed development of the sexual organs (gonads; ovaries and testes) and associated sexual characteristics, such as breast and sperm development, etc., combined with partial hair loss (alopecia). Hypogonadism primary partial alopecia is so rare that it has only yet been described in six females and one male from three families. Hypogonadism primary partial alopecia is due to having parents who are closely-related (consanguinity), in these cases, first cousins believed to have a recent common ancestor.
