    Glossary LIPH gene

    provides instructions for an enzyme crucial for hair growth

    The LIPH gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called lipase H, which is involved in the production of a molecule that helps hair grow. Mutations in the LIPH gene can lead to conditions like autosomal recessive woolly hair and hypotrichosis, where individuals have abnormally curly hair or sparse hair growth.
