October 2000 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” AUC and APL are distinct conditions needing careful clinical assessment.
June 2026 in “arXiv (Cornell University)” The document presents a new method for evaluating SNPs in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) that integrates the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test with the association test, using a conditional genotype-based approach. This method, which conditions the Pearson $χ^2$-statistic on the HWE $χ^2$-statistic in the control group, is shown through simulations to be more powerful than existing methods. It improves SNP ranking by incorporating HWE into p-value calculations, demonstrated in an alopecia study. The proposed test eliminates the need for separate HWE testing, enhances power and interpretability, and makes replication more cost-effective, benefiting subsequent fine mapping efforts.

May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
