research A novel nonsense mutation in the STS gene in a Pakistani family with X-linked recessive ichthyosis: including a very rare case of two homozygous female patients
A new mutation in the STS gene causes X-linked ichthyosis, even in rare female cases.
research Read-Through for Nonsense Mutations in Type XVII Collagen‒Deficient Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa
A new therapy for a skin blistering condition has not been developed yet.
research Identification of a recurrent nonsense mutation in HR gene responsible for atrichia with papular lesions in two Kashmiri families
A mutation in the HR gene causes a rare form of irreversible hair loss in two Kashmiri families. Whole exome sequencing is effective for finding such mutations.
research A Case of Tricho-rhino-phalangeal Syndrome Caused by a Novel Heterozygous Nonsense Mutation in the TRPS1 Gene
A new mutation in the TRPS1 gene caused Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome in a 17-year-old, highlighting the need for genetic testing.

5 / 380 resultscommunity Is Vitamin D the cause of my baldness or slow regrowth?
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, including oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling, and the potential impact of Vitamin D and folic acid deficiencies on hair regrowth. It suggests that while male pattern baldness is the primary cause, addressing vitamin deficiencies may aid in improving regrowth.
community We need to keep these snake oil companies accountable.
Biotin is being misleadingly marketed as a primary treatment for androgenic alopecia, overshadowing more effective treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is a call for increased awareness and accountability to prevent misinformation.
community If PP405 goes systemic this would be quite catastrophic
Concerns about the potential systemic effects and safety of PP405 for hair loss, with discussions on its comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Users express skepticism about untested research chemicals and emphasize the importance of clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy.
community How significant is the difference between 0.5mg Dut and 1mg Fin?
0.5mg dutasteride reduces scalp DHT more than 1mg finasteride, leading to better hair regrowth results. Users report significant improvement with dutasteride compared to finasteride.
community Dutasteride causing us to have… girl babies?
User Kylo313 used dutasteride for 20 years and had two daughters, questioning if dutasteride affects the likelihood of having male vs female children. Replies mostly request hairline photos and discuss anecdotal experiences, with some suggesting correlation doesn't imply causation and that gender determination isn't affected by dutasteride.
