Are Long Eyelashes Genetic?

Posted in Eyelash Growth

Some people are having naturally long eyelashes and some people don’t have.  If you have genetics caused eyelash length.

There are following some ways. We are going to give you fascinating insight tips into the genetics surrounding eyelash length.

There is a length that’s officially considered as long eyelashes. There are a variety of causes of eyelash trichomegaly, including environmental factors, and genetic inheritance.

Congenital Trichomegaly

• Trichomegalyis one of the congenital conditions in the eyelashes. These are abnormally long, greater than 12mm in the central area and 8mm in the peripheral.
• It is occurring when someone has longer than genetically long eyelashes because of either syndrome or disorder they have had since they were born.
• Two, in particular, Cornelia de Lange and Oliver-McFarlane syndrome result in the sufferer having extremely long eyelashes, more so than normal.
• Although, it doesn’t necessarily follow that someone with long eyelashes has one of these conditions. They have different other symptoms as well as long eyelashes.
• There is only one way and you can possibly get two FGF5 mutations. If you get a mutated version of the gene from each of your parents that is thought to be quite rare.

What about Familial Trichomegaly?

• Familial isolated trichomegaly is a rare genetic hair anomaly characterized by a prolonged anlagen phase of the eyelash hairs, leading to extreme long eyelashes genetic that may result in corneal irritation.
• Increased growth of hair on other parts of the face (eyebrows, cheeks, and forehead) and/or the body may be associated.
• Scientists are telling fascinated by long eyelashes genetic and their origins.
• You are trying and understand what was going on better; they are taking DNA samples of people with trichomegaly eyelashes.
• These are compared their samples with the DNA of family members with shorter eyelashes.
