The guidelines ensure accurate genetic testing and reporting for 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
research Clinical and Molecular Genetic Findings of Cerebral Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy
Genetic analysis is crucial for diagnosing and managing cerebral arteriopathy.
research Molecular Genetics of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR Pathway in Genodermatoses: Diagnostic Implications and Treatment Opportunities
The document concludes that understanding genetic mutations in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway can lead to better diagnosis and treatment for certain genetic skin disorders.
research Alopecias And Hypotrichoses In Childhood
Genetic testing can identify causes of rare hair loss disorders in children, but no treatments exist.
research Adrenal 21-Hydroxylase Gene Mutations in Slovenian Hyperandrogenic Women: Evaluation of Corticotrophin Stimulation and HLA Polymorphisms in Screening for Carrier Status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Should I take creatine if Im on fin?
Creatine is unlikely to worsen hair loss for those on finasteride, with no strong scientific evidence linking it to increased hair loss. Many users report no negative effects on hair while using creatine.
community Getting PP405. Now…. or as soon as possible
People are discussing obtaining and testing PP405 for hair loss treatment, with concerns about its purity and effectiveness. Some are considering delaying hair transplants, while others suggest using existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
community Zix + Topical Fin : Blood Test Before/After, AMA and suggestions
A user's plan to use Zix and topical finasteride (5AR inhibitors) for hair loss, followed by blood testing before/after. The user has suggested creating a fund to cover part of the cost of their blood tests. Replies to their post discuss the effectiveness of the treatments.
community How do we only have two treatments to combat hair loss at this point in time?
The post discusses frustration over the limited and not always effective treatments for hair loss, mainly Minoxidil and Finasteride. The conversation includes mentions of potential new treatments like GT20029, HMI-115, CosmeRNA, KX-826, and microneedling, but also highlights the challenges of funding and prioritizing research in this area.
