Hairless gene not strongly linked to baldness.
research The Hair Eclipse Phenomenon: Sharpening the Focus on the Hair Cycle Chronobiology
Hair growth and shedding are linked and can be disrupted, causing a delay known as the hair eclipse phenomenon, which is common in certain hair conditions and could lead to new treatments.
research Novel Adenosine Triphosphate-Binding Cassette, Subfamily A, Member 12 Mutations Associated with Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma
New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.
