(1) There is a significant group of disorders which present with unruly hair, and these have been described under all manner of titles, including crinkly, woolly, kinky, crimped, frizzly, steely, spunglass, in an attempt to define their clinical appearance.
Frizzy
Definition:
(a.) Curled or crisped; as, frizzly, hair.
Example Sentences:
(1) The results prove that a major gene does exist, that it is very closely linked with frizzy, fr, in chromosome 7, which in turn is linked with ce, that it is fully dominant in females at 4 months of age, and that its partial dominance in males is under the control of modifiers.
(2) Frizzy (frz) mutants are unable to aggregate normally, instead forming frizzy filamentous aggregates.
(3) Linkage backcrosses show the gene to be situated on chromosome 7 with about 25% recombination with the closely linked warfarin-resistance genes War, and frizzy, fr.
(4) The frizzy (frz) genes are required to control directed motility.
(5) Faced with a patient presenting with 'frizzy' hair it is helpful to have a systematic approach rather than simply 'thumb through the books'.
(6) The frizzy mutations (frz) were found to be genetically linked.
(7) Condom frizziness and color were less important attributes.
