Genetic studies on hair traits can improve understanding of health and disease.
research Alopecias
Alopecia causes sudden hair loss, possibly due to genetic, environmental, or immune factors.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research Hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent: an overview
The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.
research Diagnosis and treatment of isolated autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis
ARWH is a rare hair disorder with no cure, but potential treatments include minoxidil and other therapies.

Genetic testing can identify causes of rare hair loss disorders in children, but no treatments exist.
research Loose Anagen Hair Associated with Wooly Hair Caused by a Heterozygous, Intronic KRT71 Variant
A genetic variant in the KRT71 gene may cause loose anagen hair and wooly hair, and symptoms might improve with age.
research Keratin disorders: from gene to therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.

Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Uncovering the complex relationship between balding, testosterone and skin cancers in men
Men with baldness are more prone to skin cancers on the scalp due to sun exposure, not testosterone.
research Androgenetic alopecia
Various treatments exist for hair loss, but more research is needed for better options.
research Alopecia areata update
Half of people with Alopecia Areata may see hair regrowth within a year without treatment, but recovery is unpredictable.
research A splice variant in KRT71 is associated with curly coat phenotype of Selkirk Rex cats
A gene variant in KRT71 causes the curly fur in Selkirk Rex cats.
research Altered hair root gene expression profiles highlight calcium signaling and lipid metabolism pathways to be associated with curly hair initiation and maintenance in Mangalitza pigs
Genes related to calcium signaling and lipid metabolism are important for curly hair in Mangalitza pigs.
research Drivers of plateau adaptability in cashmere goats revealed by genomic and transcriptomic analyses
The study found that genetic differences related to hair growth and other traits help cashmere goats adapt to high-altitude environments.
research The developmental basis of fingerprint pattern formation and variation
Fingerprints form uniquely before birth due to specific genetic pathways and local signals.
research Evolution of long scalp hair in humans
Long scalp hair evolved for cooling and social signaling.
research Hair Follicle Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Differentially Expressed Genes That Regulate Wool Fiber Diameter in Angora Rabbits
Genes affecting wool fiber thickness in Angora rabbits were identified, which could help breed finer wool.
research Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis with Woolly Hair Caused by a Mutation in the Keratin 25 Gene Expressed in Hair Follicles
A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.
research Identification of the Key Genes Associated with Different Hair Types in the Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat
Key genes, including KRT39 and KRT74, influence hair length in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats.
research Evaluation of noninvasive biospecimens for transcriptome studies
Hair follicles and urine cell pellets are promising for transcriptome studies.
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
