Mutations in the PTPRQ gene cause significant balance issues in mice due to hair bundle defects in the inner ear.

Ptprq has multiple forms that change during inner ear development.

The conclusion is that genetic differences affect how the cochlea heals after hair cell loss, which may challenge the creation of hearing loss treatments.

Rare ULBP3 gene changes may raise the risk of Alopecia areata, a certain FAS gene deletion could cause a dysfunctional protein in an immune disorder, and having one copy of a specific genetic deletion is okay, but two copies cause sickle cell disease.

miR-199a-3p controls hair growth and is linked to alopecia areata.
