TLDR WNT10A gene mutations cause short anagen hair syndrome.
The study investigates the role of WNT10A gene variants in short anagen hair syndrome (SAHS), a condition characterized by a significantly reduced hair growth phase. The research identifies specific mutations in the WNT10A gene that are strongly associated with SAHS, suggesting that these genetic alterations disrupt normal hair follicle cycling. The findings are based on genetic analysis and provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hair growth disorders, potentially guiding future therapeutic strategies for managing SAHS.
