Skin-picking disorder and trichotillomania in Down syndrome: A TriNetX-based cohort study

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: To the Editor: Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental condition associated with psychiatric and behavioral comorbidities. Prior studies suggest increased repetitive and compulsive-like behaviors in individuals with DS. However, the longitudinal association between body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) and DS is uncharacterized.1-4 Therefore, we evaluated this relationship using TriNetX, a multicenter database of ≥100 health care organizations with internal data validation.
