Pili trianguli canaliculi, a recently described dysmorphic disorder of the hair, occurred with variable sevenity in three related members of a family. The diagnosis was suspected from the complaint of “uncombable hair” and was confirmed by identifying the defect by scanning electron microscopy. The pedigree provides evidence for autosomal dominant inheritance.
