research A Novel Missense Mutation Affecting the Human Hairless Thyroid Receptor Interacting Domain 2 Causes Congenital Atrichia
The study identified a novel missense mutation in the hairless (hr) gene, specifically a G to A transition at cDNA position 3034, resulting in a D1012N substitution, which was linked to congenital atrichia in a 17-year-old female with alopecia universalis congenita. This mutation was homozygous in the patient, heterozygous in her mother, and absent in her sister, and was not found in 326 chromosomes from healthy individuals, indicating it was not a common polymorphism. The mutation affected the hairless thyroid receptor interacting domain 2, crucial for binding to the thyroid hormone receptor, underscoring its functional importance. The findings enhanced the understanding of the genetic basis of congenital alopecias and the role of the hr gene, with implications for diagnosing hr-related disorders.
