Do Mexicans suffer from hypotrichosis, or human "wolf" syndrome? U know when their body is 100% covered w/hair

Question

???

Well it's funny to see how polarized you are when you refer to me as a racist for calling Mexicans just that. Pehaps you would prefer ****. Anyways, I have seen two different shows w/2 different families that had this genetic disease and they were both **** families. That's my point. So would you also call me racist for calling Americans just that? What about Chinese??

As far as them being no more hairier than me, thats not ture I don't have this genetic disease, although only men are known to carry it. No am I sexist too now, liberal scum?

I'm sorry, I meant S P I C, but that D A M N Edna keeps bleeping it out!

Answer 1

Humans are mammals. We are all covered with hair but it is usually very fine and light colored. It is termed lanugo when it is visible on a newborn baby. The fine hair on an adult is vellus hair. Vellus hairs grow on the face, chest, and back and give the impression of "hairless" skin.

Hypertrichosis is a very rare disease with about 50 cases documented worldwide. It affects people of all ethnic backgrounds but the most familiar are the Mexicans who perform in the Mexican National Circus.

Congenital generalized hypertrichosis (CGH) is an extremely rare disorder characterized by excessive hair growth on the face and upper body for which reason it has been dubbed "Werewolf syndrome" by the popular press. Individuals with this rare phenotype have in the past appeared in circuses as "dog men" and "ape men". The discovery of a multigenerational Mexican family with many members manifesting the phenotype provided researchers a rare opportunity to track the gene. The genetic anomaly is found on chromosome 8.

In 1648, Dr. Ulysses Aldrovandus first documented several members of the family of Petrus Gonsalvus a native of Tenerife who had excessive body hair (Hypertrichosis universalis) from birth. Petrus Gonzales, his 2 daughters, a son, and a grandchild were affected.

Answer 2

it more likely to happen in that region but it is known cases all over the world. so I believe no I would say for most Mexicans are more hair less then harry. the blood lines come from century's of mixing a Irish man has more hare then most in the world and there is a history Long history of Irish mixing with the Mexicans and Spaniards are more hairy then Mexicans . true Mexicans going back to Aztec times were hare less on there legs and chest and face hair was scars they had fine mustache's if they grew one just like Asian. so being a mixed world it has happened all over the world and it is not more in one place then another

Answer 3

What you are describing is a very rare condition don't believe there is more than a hand full of cases reported in the 20th century. The last one I read about was 2 brothers I believe they were Mexican decent but might have been further south. It was believe in early times people who suffered from this condition were Werewolf's.
Watch how your wording your questions as most people don't read things or understand what they are reading

Answer 4

That special on the Discovery channel about that disease was about a Mexican family, but I think other races can get it too.

Answer 5

huh? Have you ever seen the majority of Mexicans? I don't believe most of them suffer from this, it's a fairly rare condition and isn't secluded to one nationality.

Answer 6

there is a family in Mexico with the condition, but Mexicans in general? no

Answer 7

How do u know? Did u inspected every mexican?

maybe u dont have hair and you have envy !!!

What a racist !!

Answer 8

are you serious or just being offensive? because if this is a serious question you might want to reword it it sounds like you're saying that all mexican people are hairy. which is kinda dumb.

Answer 9

yes it was on the discovery channel this week, but I dont think its just mexicans,it can be anyone

Answer 10
