TLDR Most people have similar hair protein patterns, but a rare variant was found in two women.
The study conducted a comparative electrophoretic analysis of hair proteins from 182 individuals, revealing a "frequent profile" of 6 prominent protein bands in 180 participants. These bands, primarily keratins, had molecular masses ranging from 13.7 to 61.9 kDa. An additional band was observed in 2 unrelated women, suggesting a potential variant, though its significance remained unclear.
