Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive woolly hair (ARWH) is characterized by short and tightly curled scalp hair without any obvious complications. The disease is known to be caused by either lipase H (LIPH) or LPAR6 genes. Proteins encoded by these two genes are closely related to each other in a lipid-signaling pathway that is believed to play crucial roles in hair follicle development and hair growth. In the Japanese...
