    GlossaryU2HR Mutation

    genetic alteration affecting hair growth regulation, potentially causing alopecia

    The U2HR mutation refers to a specific genetic alteration in the U2HR (U2 Hairless Repressor) gene, which is involved in the regulation of hair growth. This mutation can disrupt normal hair follicle function, potentially leading to conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs. For professionals, it's important to note that the U2HR gene plays a role in the signaling pathways that control hair follicle cycling and differentiation.
