research Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPH mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research Peer Review #1 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary by individual and body part, with some differences between ethnic groups, which could help in forensics.
research Peer Review #2 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
research Analysis of DNA in hair fibers.
Small amounts of DNA can be found in the hair shaft, especially near the root, but it decreases with hair treatments and washing.
research In Silico Characterization and Analysis of Clinically Significant Variants of Lipase-H (LIPH Gene) Protein Associated with Hypotrichosis
Three specific mutations in the LIPH gene can cause hair loss by damaging the protein's structure and function.
research Validation and casework testing of the BioPlex-11 for STR typing of telogen hair roots
BioPlex-11 improves DNA profiling from telogen hair roots in forensic work.
research Cloning and sequence analysis of KAP 6.1 gene in Xinjiang fine-wool sheep
Researchers cloned a gene from Xinjiang fine-wool sheep, finding it very similar to other sheep and somewhat similar to goats, humans, and rabbits.
research Complete defect in PA-PLA1α secretion function leading to autosomal recessive woolly hair and hypotrichosis: insights from a novel compound heterozygous LIPH variant study in a Chinese pedigree
A new genetic variant in the LIPH gene causes hair growth issues in a Chinese patient.
research Uncovering the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of androgenetic alopecia in African men
The research found that genetic factors for male pattern baldness in African men differ significantly from those in Europeans.
research The first broad replication study of SNPs and a pilot genome‐wide association study for androgenetic alopecia in Asian populations
Two specific genetic markers increase the risk of hair loss in Asian populations.
research Polarized microscopy in genetic hair disorders: case series
Polarized microscopy helps identify hair irregularities in genetic disorders.
research Polymorphisms in the Human High Sulfur Hair Keratin-associated Protein 1, KAP1, Gene Family
Genetic variations in hair keratin proteins exist but don't significantly affect hair structure.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
research Assessing protein sequencing in human single hair shafts of decreasing lengths
Hair keratin proteins can be reliably identified in hair as short as 0.12 cm, with 0.5 to 2 cm being the best length for analysis.
research Autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous mutation in the LIPH gene: a case report
A genetic mutation in the LIPH gene causes a rare hair disorder with sparse, curly hair.
research Clinical and Molecular Diagnostic Criteria of Congenital Atrichia with Papular Lesions11This paper originally appeared in issue 117:1662–1665, 2001. Following publication the authors indicated that important corrections at page proof were not taken in. To ensure that the paper is published as intended, the editors have decided to reproduce the contents in full.
Congenital atrichia with papular lesions is often misdiagnosed, and new diagnostic criteria can improve accuracy.
