<strong>Clinical Features</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Differences in head hair morphology among different human populations have long been recognized. Hrdy (1973) reported quantitative variation in hair from among 7 populations worldwide, including individuals from northwest Europe, Africa, the Solomon Islands, and Japan. Assessments included differences in diameter, medullation, cuticular scales, kinking, and curvature (see 139450). The greatest hair diameter was observed among the Japanese, and kinking and curvature was highest among Africans. Hrdy (1973) concluded that a small number of genes with varying expression resulting from environmental forces determine differences in hair morphology among different populations. </p><p>Franbourg et al. (2003) used several methods to examine the differences between head hair from persons of Caucasian, Asian, and African descent. X-ray analysis showed that all 3 hair types were similar in keratin protein structure down to coiled-coil molecules. Three-dimensional structure analysis showed that Asian hair had the greatest diameter and that African hair had the greatest sectional variability and variability of ellipticity along the fiber. Radial water swelling studies showed that African hair had the lowest increase in diameter when water was applied. Caucasian and Asian hair showed similar radial swelling changes to one other. A tensile study showed that African hair had the earliest breaking time and lowest stress requirement at breaking. The findings demonstrated that there are measurable differences in hair morphology among these 3 ethnic groups. </p>

<strong>Molecular Genetics</strong>

</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Fujimoto et al. (2008) evaluated genetic differences in 170 genes related to hair morphogenesis in several populations, including European, African, Chinese, and Japanese. There were significant differences within the EDAR gene (604095), which were further evaluated. The C allele of SNP 1540T-C (rs3827760) in exon 12 of the EDAR gene (V370A; 604095.0011) was significantly associated with Chinese and Japanese samples, present at a frequency of 87.6%, compared to 0% in European and African samples. A further study of 121 unrelated Indonesian individuals from the Java Island and 65 unrelated individuals of the Thai-Mai in Thailand showed a significant association of the 1540T/C SNP with diameter, or cross-sectional area, of individual hairs (p = 5.5 x 10(-3) and p = 9.5 x 10(-4), for the populations, respectively). In a follow-up study, Fujimoto et al. (2008) found a significant association between 1540C and increased cross-sectional area of individual hairs in a cohort of 189 Japanese individuals (p = 2.7 x 10(-6)). A stronger association was noted (p = 3.8 x 10(-10)) when the findings were combined with population results of the Thai-Mai and Indonesian cohorts from the previous study. </p>

<strong>Population Genetics</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>By studying the geographic distribution of the 1540T/C SNP in the EDAR gene and using haplotype analysis, Fujimoto et al. (2008) concluded that the 1540C allele arose after the divergence of Asians from Europeans, and that its frequency has rapidly increased in East Asian populations due to positive selection. </p>

<strong>Animal Model</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Mou et al. (2008) found that mice with overexpression of the Edar gene displayed a coarser coat hair phenotype compared to wildtype mice. The diameter of each hair type was increased by 10 to 25% upon elevation of Edar signaling, corresponding to an increase of cross-sectional area of 21 to 56%. In addition, the hair of transgenic mice showed increased straightness with less kinking, and a more circular cross-section appearance compared to wildtype mice. Primary hair follicles of the transgenic mice showed an enlarged bulb region with Edar expression within the bulb, and transgenic mouse embryos showed larger hair follicle placodes, which represent the organ primordia. Mou et al. (2008) commented that the phenotype was similar to that observed in East Asian human hair, which is thicker and more circular on cross-section than that observed in other populations, and is associated with a SNP in the EDAR gene (604095.0011) that causes increased downstream NFKB activity. </p>
