Exploring the possibility of predicting human head hair greying from DNA using whole-exome and targeted NGS data

Abstract Background Greying of the hair is an obvious sign of human aging. In addition to age, sex- and ancestry-specific patterns of hair greying are also observed and the progression of greying may be affected by environmental factors. However, little is known about the genetic control of this pro...
