Scalp hair-whorl orientation of Japanese individuals is random; hence, the trait's distribution is not genetically determined.
Klar AJ. Klar AJ. Semin Cell Dev Biol. 2009 Jun;20(4):510-3. doi: 10.1016/j.semcdb.2008.11.003. Epub 2008 Nov 13. Semin Cell Dev Biol. 2009. PMID: 19049888 Free PMC article. Review.
Because the features of clockwise versus anti-clockwise orientation of hair-whorl coiling developed on a person's scalp is (partially, albeit significantly) correlated with that individual's right- versus left-hand-use preference (i.e., handedness) in the US and Bri …

Genetic determinism and hemispheric influence in hair whorl formation.
Willems M, Hennocq Q, de Lara ST, Kogane N, Fleury V, Rayssiguier R, Santander JJC, Requena R, Stirnemann J, Khonsari RH. Willems M, et al. J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2024 Apr;125(2):101664. doi: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101664. Epub 2023 Oct 31. J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2024. PMID: 37913994
BACKGROUND: The mechanisms determining the laterality and the rotation direction of hair whorls are unknown. Here we report observations on twins investigating the genetic bases of whorl pattern formation. ...OR for the Northern hemisphere (0.04 [0.03; 0.05]) was less than …

The association between scalp hair-whorl direction, handedness and hemispheric language dominance: is there a common genetic basis of lateralization?
Jansen A, Lohmann H, Scharfe S, Sehlmeyer C, Deppe M, Knecht S. Jansen A, et al. Neuroimage. 2007 Apr 1;35(2):853-61. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2006.12.025. Epub 2006 Dec 29. Neuroimage. 2007. PMID: 17275334
These findings are fascinating and important since hair-whorl direction is a structural marker of lateralization and could provide a readily observable anatomical clue to functional brain lateralization. Based on data on handedness and hair-whorl …

Maternal protective behavior of zebu type cattle (Bos indicus) and its association with temperament.
Pérez-Torres L, Orihuela A, Corro M, Rubio I, Cohen A, Galina CS. Pérez-Torres L, et al. J Anim Sci. 2014 Oct;92(10):4694-700. doi: 10.2527/jas.2013-7394. Epub 2014 Aug 22. J Anim Sci. 2014. PMID: 25149346
Measures obtained were defense responses of cows protecting their calves assessed by categorizing the behavioral response of the dams during handling of their calves and chute exit score and facial hair whorl (HW) position as indirect measures associated with …

Non-specific X linked mental retardation with aphasia exhibiting genetic linkage to chromosomal region Xp11.
Wilson GN, Richards CS, Katz K, Brookshire GS. Wilson GN, et al. J Med Genet. 1992 Sep;29(9):629-34. doi: 10.1136/jmg.29.9.629. J Med Genet. 1992. PMID: 1357179 Free PMC article.
The three affected males had severe mental retardation (IQ 20 to 30), mutism, growth failure, frequent infections, seizures, and the following minor anomalies: brachycephaly, frontal hair whorl, square face, large mouth, thick lips, and prognathism. ...Linkage analy …
