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.
