Busulphan/cyclophosphamide conditioning for bone marrow transplantation may lead to failure of hair regrowth.
Baker BW, et al

Following the introduction of bulsulphan and cyclophosphamide, patients noted incomplete scalp hair regrowth following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). snip.. Six patients had experienced incomplete hair regrowth of varying severity 7-27 months following BMT. snip.. None of the patients had evidence of graft-versus-host disease. No laboratory test abnormalities distinguished the affected from the unaffected patients. … our.. results suggest that BUCY has caused permanent damage to the hair follicles of the affected patients. Prolonged hair loss may markedly impair the quality of life for long-term survivors of BMT and this unexpected complication also has significant medicolegal implications.

In one family several male and female members had hypogonadism and frontoparietal hair loss, whereas other members with normal sexual development had normal scalp hair. Clinical and laboratory evaluation of three affected young men (two brothers and their cousin) revealed that the hypogonadism was the result of decreased serum concentrations of follicle stimulating and luteinizing hormones. There was no evidence of a deficiency of any other pituitary hormone. snip…
