I thought it would be interesting to create a separate thread for research on this subject. Just to springboard off some recent relevant paper:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5308812/

And an additional unusual genetic link to rare condition:

Also, another fascinating case had me wonder about how her hair might progress based on another genetic rarity:

Not looking for answers to our problem here but an indisputable connection, so if you find this of interest and find additional things related to the subject, please post.

It was thought in the 1990s that decoding the genetics of diseases would speed things up to finding drug cures. Scientists now say that finding flunky genes creates more questions than answers. I think scientific breakthroughs will tend t come from trial and error experiments in the lab. Breakthroughs will come from scientists trying new things in unpredictable ways and making serendipitous discoveries. The human body is the most complex organism in the universe that we know of.
