exhibiting Mendelian inheritance," he recalled to SWNS, referencing a type of biological inheritance. Bad hair day? Turns out you can blame your family: A new study has found it's all in the genes.
The point is dictated by the follicle orientation and easily can be identifiable between different people. The patterns are then defined by whorl numbers, either single or double, and direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise, SWNS reported. In the study, Dr. Wang found that genetic variants did influence the hair whorl direction and follicle shape.
In conclusion, investigators said that the way in which a person's hair lies on the head is rooted in genetics. "Our results demonstrate that hair whorl direction is influenced by the cumulative effects of multiple genes, suggesting a polygenic inheritance," he told SWNS. He also noted that no significant genetic associations were drawn"between hair whorl direction and behavioral, cognitive or neurological phenotypes."Brittany Kasko is a lifestyle production assistant with Fox News Digital.
