Heterochromia of the scalp hair: a result of pigmentary mosaicism? / L. Restano, M. Barbareschi, S. Cambiaghi, C. Gelmetti, M. Ghislanzoni, R. Caputo. - In: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY. - ISSN 0190-9622. - 45:1(2001 Jul), pp. 136-139.
Abstract:
Five patients who presented stable bands of hair of a different color with respect to the surrounding hair are reported. In 4 patients this was an isolated finding. One patient also had diffuse linear skin hypopigmentation and other abnormalities. We hypothesize that these 5 cases represent a distinct type of hair heterochromia, possibly because of somatic mosaicism for genes affecting pigmentation.
