Rj> First, you should do a search of Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
Rj> (OMIM), available thru GDB on the Internet URL= http://www.gdb.org. If
Rj> you don't have WWW access, you can access GDB via gopher. For further
Rj> help in accessing GDB and OMIM send Email to davidk at gdb.org or
Rj> help at gdb.org.
Rj> There are several hypertrichosis (note spelling for searching)
Rj> syndromes. the general form being autosomal dominant.
Rj> OMIM # 145700 HYPERTRICHOSIS UNIVERSALIS [HYPERTRICHOSIS LANUGINOSA
Rj> CONGENITA]
Rj> The trait consists of long hairs growing from the helix of the pinna;
Rj> see Dronamraju (1964) and Stern et al. (1964). Controversy has
Rj> prevailed as to whether it is Y-linked or autosomal, or perhaps both
Rj> (in different families). Rao (1970, 1972) proposed that hairy ears
Rj> result from the interaction of two loci, one on the homologous
Rj> segment of the X and Y and one on the nonhomologous segment of the Y.
Rj> As you can see it has not been reconsidered critically in recent
Rj> years. You may be rewarded by doing a literature search using Science
Rj> Citation Index looking for any publications citing the authors listed
Rj> below.
Rj> I would be very interested to hear if you come up with any more recent
Rj> information.
Rj> There are several other syndromes as well.
