Woolly hair is characterized by fine and tightly curled hair. It has recently been revealed that both LPAR6 and lipase H (LIPH) mutations cause autosomal recessive woolly hair (ARWH)/hypotrichosis. This notion has provided critical evidence to the concept that LPA6 activation by LIPH-catalyzed lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid has a key role in regulation of hair follicle development. Very recently, novel...
