Trichotillomania (TTM), also known as hair pulling disorder, is a mental disorder characterised by a long term urge that results in the pulling out of one's hair.Wikipedia
As OMIM reports, heritability estimates for trichotillomania are relatively high (between 0.76 to 0.78), suggesting that a significant proportion of trichotillomanic behavior may be due to genetic factors.
A gene with some mutations reported to be associated with trichotillomania is the SLITRK1 gene.
