NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵⁴ Barber Say syndrome is a very rare condition characterized by the association of excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis), papery thin and fragile (atrophic) skin, outward turned eyelids (ectropion) and a large mouth (macrostomia). It has been described in less than 20 patients in the medical literature. Barber Say syndrome has a variable presentation, with reports of both mild and severe cases. Inheritance has been debated, with qualities suggestive of autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive. A recent study suggests that at least some cases of Barber Say syndrome are caused by dominant mutations in the TWIST2 gene. Treatment remains a challenge for both patients and doctors, and requires a multidisciplinary approach.

MalaCards based summary : Barber-Say Syndrome, also known as hypertrichosis, atrophic skin, ectropion, and macrostomia, is related to ablepharon-macrostomia syndrome and say syndrome, and has symptoms including dry skin An important gene associated with Barber-Say Syndrome is TWIST2 (Twist Family BHLH Transcription Factor 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways is Proteoglycans in cancer. Affiliated tissues include skin, eye and breast, and related phenotypes are hypertelorism and failure to thrive

Disease Ontology : ¹² A syndrome characterized by d by the association of excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis), papery thin and fragile (atrophic) skin, outward turned eyelids (ectropion) and a large mouth (macrostomia). It is that has material basis in heterozygous mutation in the TWIST2 gene on chromosome 2q37.

OMIM : ⁵⁸ Barber-Say syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by severe hypertrichosis, especially of the back, skin abnormalities such as hyperlaxity and redundancy, and facial dysmorphism, including macrostomia, eyelid deformities, ocular telecanthus, abnormal and low-set ears, bulbous nasal tip with hypoplastic alae nasi, and low frontal hairline (summary by Roche et al., 2010).

CDC : ³ BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle that results from infection by an unusual transmissible agent called a prion. The nature of the transmissible agent is not well understood. Currently, the most accepted theory is that the agent is a modified form of a normal protein known as prion protein. For reasons that are not yet understood, the normal prion protein changes into a pathogenic (harmful) form that then damages the central nervous system of cattle.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁶ Barber-Say syndrome: A rare ectodermal dysplasia characterized by ectropion, macrostomia, ear abnormalities, broad nasal bridge, bulbous nose, redundant skin, hypertrichosis, dental abnormalities, and variable other features.
