In this study, researchers identified an autosomal dominant mutation (E402K) in exon 7 of the KRT86 gene as a cause of Monilethrix in a large family from Turkey.

This study found that the p.E402K mutation in the KRT86 gene is a hotspot in Chinese patients with monilethrix, and treatment with 5% topical minoxidil significantly improved hair density and quality.

This study found that a specific gene mutation was identified in a family with monilethrix, and treatment with 5% minoxidil liniment improved hair quality in the proband without adverse events.

This study identified the c.1204G to A (p.E402K) mutation in the hHB6 gene as a cause of monilethrix in a Chinese family, highlighting the gene's role in the condition.

Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.
