APO syndrome is the acronym for Growth retardation,

Alopecia,PseudoanodontiaandOptic atrophy. Inchildren,

androgenetic alopecia is rarer and its prevalence is not well

known. I present to the audience a unique case of GAPO

syndrome that presented to us with androgenetic pattern

alopecia starting as early as two years of age and progressing

within a year to Hamilton–Norwood type VII. I will explore the

possible other reasons for such condition and importance of

including GAPO syndrome as a differential in diagnosis when

a dermatologist, pediatrician or plastic surgeons gets a case

like this.
