New mutations in hair keratin genes cause the rare hair disorder monilethrix.

A new mutation, Glu402Lys, in hair keratin is linked to variable symptoms of monilethrix.

Monilethrix severity varies and may be influenced by other genetic or environmental factors.

The Glu413Lys mutation in keratin affects hair stability, while Glu413Asp does not.

Different conditions affect how hair proteins assemble, and certain mutations can change their structure.

New mutations in KRT83 and KRT86 are linked to the hair disorder monilethrix.

A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.

Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.

New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.
