London, November 20 : A cure for an Indian boy with ‘werewolf syndrome’, a condition which leaves the face and body of the sufferer covered in hair, has been found by Colombia University researchers in New York.
The researchers attribute their groundbreaking work to testosterone injections, which they used on 11-year-old Pruthviraj Patil, one of just 50 people in the world with the rare genetic condition, called hypertrichosis.
