Graham Little syndrome is a rare variant of lichen planopilaris, an inflammatory form of scarring hair loss. It is also known as Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueuer syndrome, in various combinations and permutations of these three names. Who gets Graham Little syndrome and why?

Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome is a type of lichen planopilaris (follicular lichen planus) characterized by the triad of patchy cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, noncicatricial alopecia of the axilla and groin, and a follicular spinous papule on the body, scalp, or both.
Abstract. Graham–Little–Piccardi syndrome (GLPS) is a rare form of follicular lichen planus and comprises cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, noncicatricial alopecia of the axillae, and/or pubis and spinous follicular papules involving the trunk and extremities.
The cause of FFA is unknown. It is thought that hormones may be partially responsible, as it typically affects post-menopausal women and can occur alongside genetic hair loss (also known as androgenetic or female pattern hair loss). However, blood tests for hormone levels don't usually show any abnormalities.
Scarring, or cicatricial alopecia, is an inflammatory condition that destroys hair follicles, causing scarring and permanent hair loss. The Mount Sinai's Alopecia Center of Excellence can help. Dermatologists have deep experience diagnosing and treating this form of alopecia.
Graham Little syndrome is suspected clinically when the three features are present.
Graham Little syndrome most commonly affects women in the age range 30-70 years, and in particular the middle-aged post-menopausal group.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q87.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations in the lmx1b gene. It is characterized by fingernail deformities, absence or hypoplasia of the patellae, iliac horns, deformities of the radial heads, nephropathy, and glaucoma. A rare genetic syndrome mapped to chromosome 16p13.3 and associated with mutations in the crebbp gene.
Most patients have normal mentality, except when vascular lesions invade the cerebral tissue. In the absence of arteriovenous fistulae, the syndrome is often referred to as weber syndrome or parkes weber syndrome. Klippel-trenaunay-weber syndrome is associated in some cases with sturge-weber angiomatosis.

Noonan syndrome occurs in both males and females with a normal karyotype (46,xx and 46,xy). Mutations in a several genes (ptpn11, kras, sos1, nf1 and raf1) have been associated the the ns phenotype. Mutations in ptpn11 are the most common.
Clinical Information. A cardiofacial syndrome with a variable phenotype, which may change with age, many characteristics of which overlap those of the turner syndrome. Short stature and mild mental retardation are the main features of this syndrome.
The phenotype varies from normal growth and head circumference with mild psychomotor retardation and lack of eczema to severe growth and mental retardation, microcephaly, behavioral problems, aplastic anemia, immunological disorders, neoplasms, and eczema some features of this syndrome are similar to those in bloom and fetal alcohol syndromes.
The majority of cases are caused by mutations in the nipbl gene. Less severe forms of the syndrome are caused by mutations in the smc1a and smc3 genes.
In addition, there is overlap with the syndrome called neurofibromatosis-noonan syndrome due to mutations in nf1. A rare autosomal recessive or dominant inherited disorder.
A rare autosomal recessive or dominant inherited disorder. The autosomal recessive form is caused by mutations in the ror2 gene. There is no causative mutation identified for the autosomal dominant form. It is manifested with short limbs, abnormal facial features, underdeveloped genitalia, and wedge-shaped vertebrae.
