Two Different Mutations in the Same Codon of a Type II Hair Keratin (hHb6) in Patients with Monilethrix [PDF]
, 1999 Monilethrix is an autosomal dominant hair disorder characterized by a beaded appearance of the hair due to periodic thinning of the shaft. The phenotype shows variable penetrance and results in hair fragility and patchy dystrophic alopecia.

A Review of the Treatment of Monilethrix from the 1960\u27s to Current Date
, 2007 Monilethrix is a rare genetic hair disease that has no cure. It affects the hair shafts on the head, face, and sometimes entire body. It occurs two to three months after birth, and the appearance results in short beaded hairs equally spaced out mostly ...

A gene for monilethrix is closely linked to the type II keratin gene cluster at 12q13
, 1995 Monilethrix is an uncommon hereditary disorder of hair and nail which produces hair fragility and a variable alopecia. Many of the dystrophic hairs have a unique beaded morphology.

A Variable Monilethrix Phenotype Associated With a Novel Mutation, Glu402Lys, in the Helix Termination Motif of the Type II Hair Keratin hHb1 [PDF]
, 1998 Monilethrix is a rare human hair disorder with autosomal dominant transmission that can be caused by mutations in hair keratins. Up until now, pathogenic mutations in the type II hair cortex keratins hHb6 and hHb1 were restricted to a highly conserved ...

Monilethrix: A Novel Mutation (Glu402Lys) in the Helix Termination Motif and the First Causative Mutation (Asn114Asp) in the Helix Initiation Motif of the Type II Hair Keratin hHb6 [PDF]
, 1999 Monilethrix, a rare human hair disorder with autosomal dominant transmission, can be caused by mutations in hair keratins. Up to now, causative mutations have only been found in two type II cortex keratins, hHb6 and hHb1.
