research Ancient lineages of the keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes and their co- option in the evolution of the hair follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research Nevoid basal carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin syndrome) and pronounced androgenic alopecia in a woman with a novel mutation p.Leu1159fsx32 in the PTCH gene
A woman with a new PTCH gene mutation has both Gorlin syndrome and severe hair loss.
research Atrichia with papular lesions in a Taiwanese patient without hairless (HR) gene mutation
A Taiwanese patient had hair loss and skin bumps without the usual gene mutation, suggesting other genetic factors might be involved.
research A Novel Mouse Type I Intermediate Filament Gene, Keratin 17n (K17n), Exhibits Preferred Expression in Nail Tissue
A new mouse gene, Keratin 17n, is mainly found in nail tissue and may explain why mice without Keratin 17 don't have nail issues.

Mutations in the AR gene cause hair thinning and loss.
research Increased rate of hair keratin gene loss in the cetacean lineage
Cetaceans lost hair genes to adapt to water.
research Chromosomal localization of acidic and basic keratin genes of the domestic dog

research Polymorphism of Keratin Gene KRT71 and Its Relationship with Wool Properties in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep
The GG genotype of the KRT71 gene leads to longer wool in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep.
research Atrichia Caused by Mutations in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene is a Phenocopy of Generalized Atrichia Caused by Mutations in the Hairless Gene
Mutations in the Vitamin D receptor gene can cause hair loss similar to mutations in the Hairless gene.
research Mutations in Three Genes Encoding Proteins Involved in Hair Shaft Formation Cause Uncombable Hair Syndrome
Mutations in three genes cause Uncombable Hair Syndrome, leading to frizzy hair that can't be combed flat.

Mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause a skin disorder in some Russian families.
research Mutations in the hair cortex keratin hHb6 cause the inherited hair disease monilethrix
research Identification of reptilian genes encoding hair keratin-like proteins suggests a new scenario for the evolutionary origin of hair
Reptiles have genes similar to hair proteins, suggesting hair's genetic origins predate mammals.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlie Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis with Monilethrix Hairs and Congenital Scalp Erosions
Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause specific hair and scalp issues.
research The Two Functional Keratin 6 Genes of Mouse Are Differentially Regulated and Evolved Independently from Their Human Orthologs
Mouse keratin 6 genes evolved independently from human ones and are regulated differently.
research The Hairless Phenotype of the Hirosaki Hairless Rat Is Due to the Deletion of an 80-kb Genomic DNA Containing Five Basic Keratin Genes
Hirosaki hairless rats lack hair due to missing DNA with key keratin genes.
research The organization of the keratin I and II gene clusters in placental mammals and marsupials show a striking similarity
Keratin gene clusters in humans and marsupials are similarly organized.
research The Mean Staple Length of Wool Fibre Is Associated with Variation in the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-2 Gene
The KRTAP21-2 gene affects wool length and quality in sheep.
research A Missense Mutation in the Zinc-Finger Domain of the Human Hairless Gene Underlies Congenital Atrichia in a Family of Irish Travellers
A specific gene mutation causes complete hair loss in an Irish Traveller family.
research Disease causing homozygous variants in the human hairless gene
New and known mutations in the hairless gene cause a hair loss condition called Atrichia with papular lesions.
research Detection of a Novel Missense Mutations in Atrichia with Papular Lesions
Researchers found a new mutation in the HR gene linked to a rare hair loss condition.
