Guinness World Records-Werewolf Syndrome (Hypertrichosis)
This short summary here is an attempt to describe these in simplistic words. Under this term you find some nuances. Generally speaking hypertrichosis is genetic and present from birth. Another way it is described is congenital generalized hypertrichosis to reflect the gene impact. Parents may pass it to children, in some cases but not 100%. Some people even call it the werewolf syndrome, which is a comparison to werewolves while there is no connection whatsoever to the myth.
