research Identification of the Rat Rex Mutation as a 7-bp Deletion at Splicing Acceptor Site of the Krt71 Gene

45 citations , January 2010 in “Journal of Veterinary Medical Science”

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

research Novel mutations of the ABCA12, KRT1 and ST14 genes in three unrelated newborns showing congenital ichthyosis

6 citations , August 2022 in “The Italian Journal of Pediatrics/Italian journal of pediatrics”

This report identified three novel genetic mutations associated with congenital ichthyosis in Italian newborns and emphasized the importance of next-generation sequencing for personalized patient management.

research Polymorphism of Keratin Gene KRT71 and Its Relationship with Wool Properties in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep

July 2025 in “Animals”

This study in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep identified two SNPs in the KRT71 gene that significantly affect wool length, with distinct expression patterns observed in hair follicles, suggesting KRT71 as a candidate gene for enhancing wool production traits.

research Sequencing KRT71 as a candidate gene for hair shape variation in dromedary camels

January 2025 in “Kuwait Journal of Science”

In this study, researchers sequenced the KRT71 gene in 102 dromedary camels to find genetic polymorphisms linked to hair shape, identifying 17 variants but none that fully explained hair shape variations, suggesting other genes may also play a role.
