More than one gene involved in monilethrix: intracellular but also extracellular players.

The Journal of investigative dermatology - 1 Jun 2006

Schweizer Jurgen

Abstract excerpt

Monilethrix, an autosomal dominant human hair disorder, is caused by mutations in three type II hair cortex keratins. Rare cases of the disease with non-vertical transmission have now been found to overlap with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis. The underlying gene, desmoglein 4 (DSG4),...
