Abstract excerpt

Hair morphology is one of the most differentiated traits among human populations. A previous study has shown that a nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the EDAR gene, EDAR 1540T/C, is strongly associated with hair thickness in Asian populations. However, the contributions of other genes remain to be elucidated. In this study, 12 SNPs on 10 hair formation-related genes with high differentiation...
