Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.

This study identified two novel point mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix, suggesting these mutations could serve as diagnostic markers for this genetic hair disorder.

A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.

This study identified a novel heterozygous missense mutation in the hHb3 gene associated with monilethrix, highlighting its role in this hair disorder.

This study observed that amino acid uptake into wool follicles varies significantly, with cysteine showing the highest uptake rate, suggesting specialized transport systems that may influence wool growth.
