This study suggests a potential genetic component in CFA among Ridgeback dogs, but MLPH genotyping did not identify the MLPH gene as a contributing factor.

This study found that hair follicles from dogs with recurrent flank alopecia regenerated and regrew hair when grafted onto mice, suggesting systemic rather than local factors may drive the condition.

This study found that 18 mg melatonin implants did not significantly prevent recurrence of canine flank alopecia compared to placebo in dogs, though the treatment was well-tolerated, with no evidence of improved efficacy.

In this study, dogs with hair cycle disorders, especially those with alopecia X, showed a significant increase in the number of kenogen follicles, suggesting impaired induction of new hair growth phases.

The conclusion is that different types of hair loss in dogs and cats can be cosmetic or serious, and affected animals should not be bred.
