The biochemical bases for fragility in most of the rare brittle hair shaft syndromes are unknown. The hypothesis being investigated in several syndromes is that the hair cuticle cells show defects in cross-linked protein features. Since transglutaminases stabilize protein structures by cross-linking them, hair from autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis patients lacking keratinocyte transglutaminase was examined to find whether this enzyme participates in hair shaft stabilization.
