Minoxidil solution applied twice daily improved hair growth in patients with Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis due to LIPH gene issues, with mild side effects.
research Highly Prevalent LIPH Founder Mutations Causing Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis in Japan and the Genotype/Phenotype Correlations
LIPH mutations in Japan cause varying degrees of hair loss and woolly hair.
research A novel homozygous variant in the dsp gene underlies the first case of non-syndromic form of alopecia
A new gene variant in the DSP gene is linked to a unique type of hair loss.
research Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair Caused by LIPH Mutations: A Case Series of Six Chinese Patients
LIPH mutations cause woolly hair in some Chinese people.
research A missense mutation in the P2RY5 gene leading to autosomal recessive woolly hair in a Syrian patient
A gene mutation causes woolly hair in a Syrian patient.
research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders

Genes linked to fibrosis are more active in people with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
research <i>DSG4</i> Gene Variants as a Cause of Hypotrichosis in the Child with Severe Atopic Dermatitis: Clinical Case
Genetic testing can diagnose hair loss linked to DSG4 gene variants.
research To grow or not to grow: Hair morphogenesis and human genetic hair disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Initiation Motif of the Keratin K71 Gene Underlies Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Novel mutations in the keratin-74 (KRT74) gene underlie autosomal dominant woolly hair/hypotrichosis in Pakistani families
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 Bi-allelic Mutations in LSS, Encoding Lanosterol Synthase, Cause Autosomal-Recessive Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research Sequencing KRT71 as a candidate gene for hair shape variation in dromedary camels
KRT71 gene variants may influence camel hair shape but don't fully explain it.
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 Unveiling the Roots of Monogenic Genodermatoses: Genotrichoses as a Paradigm
New gene identification techniques have improved the understanding and classification of inherited hair disorders.
research Marie‐Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Marie-Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis is a rare genetic condition causing sparse hair growth, requiring specific recognition for proper care.
research Hair graying and loss induced by imatinib mesylate
A woman's hair turned gray and fell out after starting a cancer drug called imatinib mesylate.
