This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

In this study, a novel heterozygous transition mutation in the KRT86 gene was identified, which may be pathogenic for monilethrix in a Chinese family.

This study found a novel R430Q gene mutation in hHb6, which may be linked to the hereditary hair disorder monilethrix in the examined family.

This study found that the p.E402K mutation in the KRT86 gene is a hotspot in Chinese patients with monilethrix, and treatment with 5% topical minoxidil significantly improved hair density and quality.

In this study, researchers identified 18 genetic associations with scalp and facial hair traits in Latin Americans, including novel loci for hair greying and balding, with implications for understanding hair evolution.
