GlossaryAPC Down-Regulated 1 (APCDD1)

gene involved in hair growth and development

APC Down-Regulated 1 (APCDD1) is a gene that plays a role in hair growth and development. Mutations in this gene have been linked to hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, a condition characterized by progressive hair loss starting in childhood. This gene is involved in the Wnt signaling pathway, which is crucial for the regulation of hair follicle development and cycling.
