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.
research Monilethrix: Mutational Hotspot in the Helix Termination Motif of the Human Hair Basic Keratin 6
This study found that the mutation Glu402Lys in keratin hHb6 may be associated with monilethrix, and homozygous patients in a consanguineous family exhibited more severe symptoms.
research Distinct mutations in human basic hair keratins 1 and 6 cause monilethrix: Implications for protein structure and clinical phenotype
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
This study found that specific human hair keratins are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, suggesting a shared pathway of epithelial differentiation between hair cortex and nail plate cells.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Are carbohydrates needed for hair growth
A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.
community creatine has not effected my hair
Creatine generally does not affect hair loss, but some report increased shedding due to higher DHT levels. Many manage hair loss with dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
community Balding absolutely ruined my life at 17.
A user is struggling with hair loss at 17 and has been using finasteride for 5 months and minoxidil for 11 months without seeing regrowth. Other users encourage continuing treatment, sharing their own experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling, and emphasizing patience and acceptance.
community Mature hairlines in general and defining them
A "mature hairline" is subjective and may not indicate future stability. Finasteride and minoxidil are suggested treatments for hair loss.
