Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Dominant form of hair loss.

Inheritance: Meyer and Drommer (1968) provided convincing evidence of autosomal dominant inheritance of hairlessness. It seems very likely that the causative mutation is at a different locus from that which gives rise to "Hypotrichosis, recessive" (MIA 000540) in pigs. However, breeding trials to test non-allelism have not been reported.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
