research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Phenotypic heterogeneity in human genetic diseases: ultrasensitivity-mediated threshold effects as a unifying molecular mechanism
Different people show different symptoms for genetic diseases because of how sensitive their bodies are to small changes in important factors.
research Association between androgenetic alopecia and cardiovascular diseases: a genetic correlation and Mendelian randomization study
People with androgenetic alopecia may have a higher genetic risk for cardiovascular diseases.
research Considerations in genetic counseling of transgender patients: Cultural competencies and altered disease risk profiles
Genetic counselors should be culturally skilled and aware of transgender patients' unique health risks and needs.
research Dermatological diseases from a genetic perspective
New gene discoveries have improved diagnosis and treatment for skin and hair disorders, but more research is needed to fully understand them.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?
CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
community Finasteride, also known as Propecia or Proscar, treats male pattern baldness and enlarged prostate in millions of men worldwide. But a new study suggests the drug may also provide a surprising and life-saving benefit: lowering cholesterol and cutting the overall risk of cardiovascular disease.
The conversation discusses the potential benefits of finasteride (Fin) for lowering cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular disease risk, with users sharing personal experiences and opinions on the medication's effects on health and hair loss. Some users report positive changes in cholesterol levels after taking finasteride, while others are skeptical or joke about its effects.
community What are all of the lifestyle factors that can speed up MPB?
Genetics mainly cause hair loss, but diet, stress, smoking, and alcohol can worsen it. Treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and avoiding caffeine.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
