Russian Baldness Gene Mutation Identified
Yet another piece of the genetic puzzle related to hair loss is being unlocked. A Russian-American research team led by Evgeny I. Rogaev has identified a mutation in gene LIPH that causes an unusual form of hair loss. “Very little was known about this gene, and what was known was not related to hair growth,” Rogaev said. The individuals, both male and female, who possessed the mutation experienced abnormally slow hair growth during childhood, and they eventually lost most of the hair on both their heads and their bodies.
