Das HAIR-AN-Syndrom, Akronym für HyperAndrogenämie, InsulinResistenz und Acanthosis Nigricans, ist eine sehr seltene angeborene Erkrankung mit den namensgebenden Hauptmerkmalen. Das Syndrom kann als Unterform des Polyzystischen Ovar-Syndroms angesehen werden, bei der eine ausgeprägte Insulinresistenz vorliegt. rdf:langString
The HAIR-AN syndrome is a rare subtype of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) characterized by hyperandrogenism (HA), insulin resistance (IR) and acanthosis nigricans (AN). The symptoms of the HAIR-AN syndrome are largely due to severe insulin resistance, which can be secondary to blocking antibodies against the insulin receptor or genetically absent/reduced insulin receptor number/function. Insulin resistance leads to hyperinsulinemia which, in turn, leads to an excess production of androgen hormones by the ovaries. High levels of androgen hormones (hyperandrogenism) in females causes excessive hair growth, acne and irregular menstruation. Patients with both underlying mechanisms of insulin resistance may have more severe hyperandrogenism. Insulin resistance is also associated with diabetes, rdf:langString
