Growth retardation, Alopecia, Pseudoanodontia and Optic atrophy ( GAPO ) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition whose cardinal features include a recognizable craniofacial dysmorphosis, growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and premature aging. We report on a 2‐year‐old Pakistani man affected with GAPO syndrome who additionally shows an androgenetic‐like alopecia with normal testosterone levels and telogen hair loss. These are novel findings in GAPO syndrome.
