research Multi-ancestry tandem repeat association study of hair colour using exome-wide sequencing
Tandem repeats significantly influence hair color, especially darker shades, across different ancestries.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Admixture in Latin America: Geographic Structure, Phenotypic Diversity and Self-Perception of Ancestry Based on 7,342 Individuals
The study found that in Latin America, ancestry varies by location, influences physical traits, and affects how people perceive their own heritage.
research Predicting hair cortisol levels with hair pigmentation genes: a possible hair pigmentation bias
Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
research Sulphation catalysed by the human cytosolic sulphotransferases - chemical defence or molecular terrorism?

Genetic differences within ethnic groups may affect prostate cancer treatment effectiveness.
research Global Landscapes of Human Phenotypic Variation in Inherited Traits
Different human traits like skin color and hair type vary between populations due to genetic adaptations to the environment.
research Hair Mechanical Properties Depending On Age And Origin
Hair properties vary with age and ethnic origin.
research Exploring Physiological Differences in Injury Response by Skin Tone: A Scoping Review
Dark skin is more prone to severe pressure ulcers due to reduced ceramide content and detection challenges.
research Immune mechanisms associated with sex-based differences in severe COVID-19 clinical outcomes
Females have stronger immune responses to COVID-19 than males, leading to better outcomes.
research Genetic Differences between Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss in a Korean Population
Certain genes may influence hair loss differently in men and women.
research Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome: genotype–phenotype review and case of intra-familial heterogeneity
Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome shows varied symptoms and genetic differences within families.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research Recent advances in Forensic DNA Phenotyping of appearance, ancestry and age
Forensic DNA Phenotyping can now better predict appearance, ancestry, and age from DNA, but more research is needed for precise police use.
research Genetics of blond hair
Blond hair in Solomon Islanders is due to a unique genetic variant, not European ancestry.
research Improving human forensics through advances in genetics, genomics and molecular biology
DNA profiling in forensics has improved, but predicting physical traits and ancestry from DNA has limitations and requires ethical consideration.
research Proteins observed in scalp hair from preschool children
Mothers have more hair proteins than their children, with age-related differences in protein patterns, and some proteins in hair could indicate early childhood development.
research Frequency of the Types of Alopecia at Twenty-Two Specialist Hair Clinics: A Multicenter Study
The most common hair loss type at specialist clinics is androgenetic alopecia, especially in younger men, followed by alopecia areata and telogen effluvium, with differences seen across regions.
research Forensic DNA Phenotyping
Forensic DNA Phenotyping accurately predicts physical traits and is used in investigations, but needs more diverse population data for confirmation.
