Patients with this syndrome can have different responses and worsening resistance to treatment over time.

Three siblings with a genetic form of rickets showed different symptoms of the disease.

Blocking 11β-HSD1 reduces stress hormone damage in hair growth cells.

A mutation in the VDR gene affects hair cycling without needing ligand binding.
