A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.
research A novel mutation in Hr causes abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis in hairpoor mouse, an animal model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis
A new mutation in the Hr gene causes hair loss in mice, similar to a human hair disorder.
research Congenital hypotrichosis due to short anagen
Some children are born with unusually short, fine hair because their hair growth phase is short, but this often gets better by itself during puberty.
research Polygenic control of the wavy coat of the NCT mouse: involvement of an intracisternal A particle insertional mutation of the protease, serine 53 (Prss53) gene, and a modifier gene
The wavy coat in NCT mice is caused by multiple genes, including a mutation in the Prss53 gene.
research A mutation in MAP2 is associated with prenatal hair follicle density
A mutation in the MAP2 gene causes reduced hair follicle density, leading to hairlessness.
