    Glossary Hairless Phenotype

    genetic condition causing absence or reduction of body hair

    The hairless phenotype refers to a genetic condition where an individual lacks hair on their body or has significantly reduced hair growth. This can be due to mutations in specific genes that are responsible for hair development and maintenance. In both humans and animals, this phenotype can result from various genetic disorders or be a naturally occurring trait in certain breeds or species.
