Molecular mechanisms underlying hair shape variation in the human population

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals and functions in thermoregulation, protection, camouflage and social signalling. In humans, scalp hair is a distinctly variable trait, differing in colour, shape and density. Genome-wide association studies have identified two derived variants, that originated after human migration out of Africa and that are present at high frequency in East Asian populations,...
