August 2020 This study found that mutations affecting hair keratin expression on Chromosome 15 in mice may cause altered hair and skin features similar to other known mouse mutations.
This article describes the "naked" mouse mutation, which results in hair loss and is linked to chromosome 15, noting similarities and differences with human ectodermal dysplasia, but provides no new experimental findings.
