    Background Hypotrichosis of the Marie Unna type (HMU) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by male-pattern hair loss with childhood onset and anomalies of the hair shaft.Objectives We aimed to evaluate a number of chromosomal loci as possible candidate regions for HMU. Methods A linkage analysis was performed in a large German family using microsatellite markers spanning candidate regions on chromosomes 8, 12 and 17.Results We found that the HMU locus maps to chromosomal region 8p21 in a 13·01-cM interval between markers D8S1145 and D8S1771. This interval harbours the hairless gene (HR). Mutational analysis of HR on the genomic and transcript levels revealed no pathogenic mutation.Conclusions Our findings, together with a recent report of two unrelated families of Dutch and British origin, provide evidence for a hair growth regulatory gene distinct from HR in chromosomal region 8p21.

    Summary Background Genetic disposition and androgen dependence are important characteristics of the common patterned loss of scalp hair known as androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The genetic factors contributing to AGA are currently unknown. The human hairless gene (HR) has recently been cloned and mutations have been reported in families with autosomal recessive universal congenital alopecia and papular atrichia. The main feature of these disorders is persistent complete absence of hair at or shortly after birth. This suggests that HR is essential and specific for the development of hair. Objectives To test the hypothesis that HR may be involved in AGA. Methods We systematically screened HR for genetic variability by means of single-strand conformation analysis (SSCA) in 46 unrelated men with AGA. To test for an involvement of HR in the development of AGA, seven common variants were genotyped in 61 families with 93 affected offspring. The results were analysed with the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT). Results SSCA showed 15 single nucleotide substitutions: eight missense mutations, four silent mutations and three mutations in exon-flanking intronic sequences. TDT results showed a marginally significant association between AGA and variants 3379–29G/T (P = 0·024) and 2611–68C/T (P = 0·047). These results, however, did not remain significant after applying the conservative Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. Conclusions Our results do not provide evidence for a strong involvement of HR in the development of AGA, although a minor role cannot be fully excluded.

    Notes:
    Abstract Dyslexia (reading and spelling disability) is one of the most frequently diagnosed disorders in childhood. Twin studies of dyslexia have indicated that deficits in spelling are substantially heritable and that the heritability of spelling deficits is higher than the heritability of reading deficits. We conducted a linkage study for spelling disability in seven multiplex families from Germany. Following previously reported linkage findings of components of dyslexia to chromosome 6p21–p22 and 15q21, we genotyped 26 microsatellite markers covering all of chromosome 6, and 13 microsatellite markers covering all of chromosome 15. While the chromosome 6 data were negative, results from chromosome 15 markers supported a locus on 15q21. The highest two-point LOD score was 1.26 with marker D15S143 at θ = 0. A multipoint LOD score of 1.78 (p = 0.0042) was achieved with a maximum at D15S132. Thus, our results provide independent support for a dyslexia gene on the long arm of chromosome 15.
