Interesting connection. Now if they can only find a cure! I am familiar with hypertrichosis, but not hypotrichosis as a syndrome. From the definition in Wikipedia, hypotrichosis is a hereditary problem, but can be associated with a variety of other conditions. Other than the clarity in the definitions, I can not add any value here.
