    genetic condition causing tightly curled, wool-like hair

    Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair is a genetic condition characterized by tightly curled, wool-like hair that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to exhibit the trait. The condition is often associated with mutations in specific genes such as LIPH or LPAR6, which are involved in hair follicle development and function.
