Animal study finds link between MAP2 mutation and hereditary hair diseases

The genetic mechanism of hereditary human hair diseases, such as alopecia and thinning hair, has drawn much attention in human genetics research, yet many questions around this mechanism persist. A recent animal study in The FASEB Journal revealed that a mutation in the gene that encodes a protein called MAP2 (for “microtubule-associated protein 2”) may be an essential component of the hairless phenotype.
