These cause the sparsing of hair on the eyebrows, eyelashes, and head. There are many other genetic disorders such as Ectodermal dysplasia, Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada (VKH) disease, Lamellar ichthyosis, etc ...

The intensity of hair color depends on the density of pigment within the melanosome. Both eumelanin and pheomelanin are made from the amino acid tyrosine, using the enzyme tyrosinase. Increased ...
