This study found that loose anagen hair syndrome is a common form of alopecia in young girls, typically presenting with thin, sparse hair and usually confirmed by a hair-pull test.

This study found that a keratin mutation may cause diffuse partial woolly hair associated with loose anagen hair syndrome in some families, but other genetic factors could play a role in different cases.

This study suggests that Keratin 6hf may be a potential marker of oral squamous cell carcinoma and could play a role in its progression, though further research is needed to understand its function.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This study identified a missense mutation in the keratin 71 gene as the cause of autosomal dominant woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese family, marking the first human mutation in KRT71 linked to a hair disorder.
