Abnormal hair should serve as a clue to other associated abnormalities particularly abnormal amino acid metabolism, neurosensory hearing loss, dental enamel hypoplasia and mental and physical retardation. With application of modern technics to the study of hair, new data have been obtained on the physical and biochemical properties of human hair.
