Loose anagen syndrome (LAS) and short anagen syndrome (SAS) are congenital hair disorders presenting with reduced hair length with or without hair thinning. We conducted a non-validated online questionnaire of self-identified familial participants in a Facebook support group to assess psychologic symptoms, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sadness, insecurity, worry, frustration, and body dysmorphia, in patients and their caregivers. Of 163 total respondents, negative psychologic symptoms were reported in 44.2% (38/89) of LAS patients, 48.3% (43/89) of LAS caregivers, 56.8% (42/74) of SAS patients, and 47.2% (35/74) of SAS caregivers. Our data indicate that both LAS and SAS have strong psychologic, emotional, and social impacts on affected children and their caregivers.
松散生长期综合征（LAS）和短生长期综合征（SAS）是先天性毛发疾病，表现为毛发长度缩短，伴有或不伴有毛发稀疏。我们在一个脸书支持小组中对自我认定的家族参与者进行了一项未经验证的在线问卷调查，以评估患者及其照顾者的心理症状，包括焦虑、抑郁、自卑、悲伤、不安全感、担忧、沮丧和身体变形障碍。在163名总受访者中，44.2%（38/89）的LAS患者、48.3%（43/89）的LAS照顾者、56.8%（42/74）的SAS患者和47.2%（35/74）的SAS照顾者报告有负面心理症状。我们的数据表明，LAS和SAS对受影响的儿童及其照顾者都有强烈的心理、情感和社会影响。
