May 2026 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study investigates the genetic factors contributing to hirsutism, a condition of excessive hair growth in women, through a genome-wide association study involving 4,834 cases and 352,966 controls. The research identified seven genetic loci associated with hirsutism, including four novel loci. A significant finding was a missense variant near the FGF5 gene in the Finnish population, which has a strong effect on hair follicle regulation. The study also found genetic correlations between hirsutism, PCOS, and metabolic traits like obesity and type 2 diabetes, indicating that both androgen-dependent and independent mechanisms contribute to hirsutism.
