Differential diagnosis Other<unk> s with<unk>  abnormalities may also show features of<unk>  such as Rapp–Hodgkin ectodermal dysplasia<unk> , loose anagen<unk> , EEC<unk>  (ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodactyly and cleft lip/palate) and familial tricho-odonto-onychial ectodermal dysplasia with syndactyly. However, unlike these conditions,<unk>  alone is not associated with physical, neurologic, or mental abnormalities. According to the U.S. National Institute of Health, the condition tends to develop in childhood (age 3-12) and resolve by adolescence. Another observation that can be made when detecting<unk>  in individuals is by observing the<unk>  shaft under a special microscope. When individual<unk>  strands are being viewed, the<unk>  is triangular or kidney-shaped, and has a longitudinal groove on one or two faces. Clinical diagnosis of UHS can be confirmed molecularly by performing high-resolution microscopy on<unk>  shafts using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM allows for the visualization of<unk>  shaft cross-sections, which can appear triangular, heart-shaped, kidney-shaped, flat, or longitudinally grooved. Interestingly, multiple different cross sections can appear on a single shaft of<unk> . An alternative method for confirming a UHS diagnosis molecularly is by embedding UHS<unk> s into paraffin. Due to the atypical shape of the<unk>  shafts in UHS, UHS<unk>  will refract light differently than typical<unk> , causing a glistening effect.
