yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal Recessive
Considered a defect:
yes
Key variant known:
no
Cross-species summary:
Recessive form of hair loss.
Inheritance:
Roberts and Carroll (1931) provided convincing evidence of autosomal recessive inheritance of hairlessness. It seems very likely that the causative mutation is at a different locus from that which gives rise to "Hypotrichosis, dominant" (MIA 001278) in pigs. However, breeding trials to test non-allelism have not been reported.
