Hirsutism that are suggestive of an androgen-secreting tumor in a patient with hirsutism is rapid onset, virilization and palpable abdominal mass. The following are conditions and situations that have been associated with hyperandrogenism and hence hirsutism in women: Causes of hirsutism not related to hyperandrogenism include: A complete physical evaluation should be done prior to initiating more extensive studies, the examiner should differentiate between widespread body hair increase and male pattern virilization. One method of evaluating hirsutism is the Ferriman-Gallwey Score which gives a score based on the amount and location of hair growth on a woman. After the physical examination,
Mendelian traits in humans multiple alleles are required from each parent (co-dominant). However the Rhesus factor is truly mendelian because only one allele is inherited from each parent. Rh factor is an antigen on the red blood cell of many people's blood. A positive Rh factor is dominant (presence of antigen) and a negative Rh is recessive (lack of antigen). Blood groups that children may inherit from their parents. Mendelian traits in humans Mendelian traits in humans concerns how, in Mendelian inheritance, a child receiving a dominant allele from either parent will have the dominant form of the phenotypic trait or characteristic. Only those
