Abstract excerpt
Hypotrichosis simplex (HS) comprises a group of hereditary isolated alopecias that are characterized by a diffuse and progressive loss of hair starting in childhood and shows a wide phenotypic variability. We mapped an autosomal-dominant form of HS to chromosome 1q31.3-1q41 in a Spanish family. By direct sequencing, we identified the heterozygous mutation c.1A>G (p.Met1?) in SNRPE that results in loss of the...
