research Kin‐cohort analysis of LRRK2‐G2019S penetrance in Parkinson's disease
The LRRK2-G2019S mutation in Parkinson's disease has a lifetime penetrance of 25-35%, and finasteride may help reduce symptoms in adult male Tourette syndrome patients.
research A preliminary study of finasteride in Tourette syndrome
Finasteride reduces Tourette syndrome symptoms, but results may be limited due to potential biases.
research Desferrioxamine treatment of aceruloplasminemia: Long‐term follow‐up
Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Syphilis: A great imitator
Syphilis has a wide range of symptoms that can look like other diseases, and if not treated, it can progress to a more serious stage, especially in HIV-positive patients.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research Evidence for a polygenic contribution to androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss risk is influenced by multiple genes.
research The therapeutic potential of CRTH2/DP2 beyond allergy and asthma
CRTH2 antagonists might be useful for treating many conditions because they play a role in immune and inflammation responses.
research Similar response patterns to topical minoxidil foam 5% in frontal and vertex scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia: a microarray analysis
Minoxidil foam 5% effectively treats hair loss in both frontal and vertex scalp regions.
research From gene to therapy in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: Are we there yet?
Effective treatments for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy are not yet available; more research is needed.
research Pathological findings in a case of stiff person syndrome with anti‐GAD antibodies
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.
research PCOS: update and diagnostic approach
The document concludes that more research is needed to fully understand the causes of PCOS.
research No evidence for THAP1/DYT6 variants as disease modifiers in DYT1 dystonia
THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.
research Mutation in 5′ upstream region of GCH I gene causes familial dopa-responsive dystonia
A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.
research Ability to cycle despite severe freezing of gait in atypical parkinsonism in Fahr's syndrome
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in Tourette syndrome patients.
research Encephalitis lethargica due to Epstein–Barr virus infection
Finasteride may help reduce tic severity in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism presenting as posterior cortical atrophy
A woman's unique dementia was misdiagnosed, a genetic mutation increases Parkinson's risk with age, and finasteride may help with Tourette syndrome.
research Integrated multiomics analysis reveals the molecular features and crucial regulators of hair follicles in yak (Bos grunniens)
Yak hair follicles adapt to cold through specific gene regulation, enhancing cell growth.
research The Color Blindness Disorders and the Role of Sex-Linked Genes
No link between finger length ratios and color blindness was found.
research Clinical cases of Darier-White follicular dyskeratosis
Darier-White disease causes skin and nail issues, starts around age 20, worsens until 40-50, and has poor treatment options.
research APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research Conditions simulating androgenetic alopecia
Different hair loss types need accurate diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Dysregulation of Grainyhead-like 3 expression causes widespread developmental defects
Not having enough or having too much of the protein Grainyhead-like 3 leads to various developmental problems.
research COVID-19 and Sex Differences
Men are more likely to have severe COVID-19 cases and fatalities than women due to factors like lifestyle, aging, and biological differences.
research Replicative stress, stem cells and aging
Maintaining DNA health in stem cells is key to preventing aging and tissue breakdown.
research What should it take to describe a substance or product as 'sperm-safe'
Products should be called 'sperm-safe' only after thorough, well-designed tests.
research Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research Differential Expression between Human Dermal Papilla Cells from Balding and Non-Balding Scalps Reveals New Candidate Genes for Androgenetic Alopecia
New genes found linked to balding, may help develop future treatments.
