There are several depending on the type. Congenital hypertrichosis lanuginosa may be caused by an inverse mutation on the 8q chromosome. Congenital generalized hypertrichosis has a dominant pattern of inheritance and has been linked to chromosome xq24-q27. Congenital generalized hypertrichosis terminalis is thought to be caused by genetic changes on chromosome 17. The gene MAP2K6 may be a factor contributing to this condition.

Hypertrichosis can have various underlying genetic causes. Specific genes that have been associated with hypertrichosis include the SOX3 gene on the X chromosome and the FOXC2 gene on chromosome 16. However, hypertrichosis can also be a symptom of other genetic or chromosomal abnormalities.
