research New case of trichorinophalangeal syndrome-like phenotype with a de novo t(2;8)(p16.1;q23.3) translocation which does not disrupt the TRPS1 gene
A woman with a unique syndrome similar to TRPS has a genetic change near the TRPS1 gene, affecting its regulation.
research Clinical and Molecular Diagnostic Criteria of Congenital Atrichia with Papular Lesions11This paper originally appeared in issue 117:1662–1665, 2001. Following publication the authors indicated that important corrections at page proof were not taken in. To ensure that the paper is published as intended, the editors have decided to reproduce the contents in full.
Congenital atrichia with papular lesions is often misdiagnosed, and new diagnostic criteria can improve accuracy.
research A new mutation Rim3 resembling Re den is mapped close to retinoic acid receptor alpha (Rara) gene on mouse Chromosome 11
research The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
research Disruption of P2RY5, an orphan G protein–coupled receptor, underlies autosomal recessive woolly hair
Mutations in the P2RY5 gene cause autosomal recessive woolly hair.
research Genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals of European ancestry identifies new loci explaining a substantial fraction of hair color variation and heritability
New genetic locations explain much of hair color variation in Europeans.
research Potential Role of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis
The role of certain genes in skin cell development may be linked to psoriasis, but the connection is unclear.
research The mouse hairy ears mutation exhibits an extended growth (anagen) phase in hair follicles and altered Hoxc gene expression in the ears
The mouse hairy ears mutation causes longer ear hair due to changes in gene expression.
research Comparative genomics of the keratin-associated protein (KAP) gene clusters in human, chimpanzee, and baboon
KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.
research A Mutation in the Serum and Glucocorticoid-Inducible Kinase-Like Kinase (Sgkl) Gene is Associated with Defective Hair Growth in Mice
A mutation in the Sgkl gene causes defective hair growth in mice.
