The Celsr1 gene is crucial for normal hair patterning in mice.

This study found that local refinement of hair follicles into higher order patterns can occur without the core planar cell polarity system, but global alignment with body axes requires its function throughout development and regeneration.

This study found that Merkel cell clusters require Frizzled6 signaling for their polarity information, while other hair follicle-associated structures align their orientation based on the hair follicle itself.

This study found that Frizzled genes Fzd3 and Fzd6 are redundantly involved in controlling hair follicle polarity in mice, but operate through distinct mechanisms, highlighting their complex role in hair orientation.

This study found that disrupting the inturned gene in developing mouse epidermis halted hair follicle formation due to impaired keratinocyte differentiation, highlighting primary cilia's role in tissue-specific planar cell polarity signaling.
