Two remarks on Rao's Two-Gene Hypothesis for the inheritance of hypertrichosis of ear rims are offered here. First remark provides justification for the particular location of NH- and H-loci on the sex chromosomes in man. A single-case longitudinal study is also reported, which gives rise to the possibility of testing the two-gene hypothesis on family data.
