The South Indian populations differ from one another for the frequency of hairy ear rims, tragus hair and hairs on the ear lobe. The difference in the age of onset is not very striking. Whether they are due to the same gene, or genes, or to independent genes, cannot be answered until detailed pedigree studies are made.
