The Sphynx coat type is characterised by a lack of fur, with very fine hairs covering the body, particularly around the nose, tail and toes. These hairs don't have a well-formed bulb, which makes them easily dislodged. The Sphynx coat is associated with an autosomal recessive allele of the KRT71 gene.
