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.
