A gene variant in KRT71 causes the curly fur in Selkirk Rex cats.
research Prediction of male-pattern baldness from genotypes
Genetic data can predict male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, especially for early-onset cases in some European men.
research Sperm aneuploidy in infertile male patients: a systematic review of the literature
Infertile men are more likely to produce sperm with abnormal chromosome numbers, which can affect pregnancy success and embryo health.
research Genetic and molecular aspects of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.

research A Tale of Two Haplotypes: The EDA2R/AR Intergenic Region is the Most Divergent Genomic Segment between Africans and East Asians in the Human Genome
The most different genetic segment between Africans and East Asians is the EDA2R/AR region, with two main types influenced by population changes and natural selection, and linked to baldness.
research Treatment-resistant Schizophrenia and Global Cortical Atrophy in a Patient with Turner Syndrome
A person with Turner Syndrome showed severe schizophrenia that didn't respond to treatment and had brain shrinkage.
research The Roles of EDA2R in Ageing and Disease
EDA2R is a key gene linked to ageing and diseases, and targeting it may help treat conditions like hair loss and chronic diseases.
research It’s X-Related: Biological Bases of Increased COVID-19 Morbidity and Mortality in Men
Men have worse COVID-19 outcomes than women due to genetic and hormonal differences.
research Uncovering the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of androgenetic alopecia in African men
Genetic predictions of baldness in Europeans don't apply well to African men.
research Updates to Male Infertility: AUA/ASRM Guideline (2024)
The 2024 guideline updates recommendations for genetic testing, imaging, and sperm retrieval in male infertility.
research The diversity of sex development: What do conditions affecting sex development teach us about sexual diversity?
Conditions affecting sex development show that sexual diversity is a natural part of human variation.
research British Society for Dermatopathology
Dermatologists give better information on pathology forms, hypersensitivity vasculitis is a common skin issue, misdiagnoses can occur, and various skin conditions are linked to loss of elastin or genetic factors.
research Molecular genetics of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research 7 Pathogenesis and Classification of Male Pattern Hair Loss (Androgenic Alopecia)
Male pattern hair loss is mainly caused by genetics and hormones, especially DHT.
research Cosmeceutical Treatments for Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA is caused by genetics and androgens, treatable with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Disorders of Sex Development
DSDs are birth conditions causing unusual sex development, managed with personalized care and sometimes surgery, but still lack a standard treatment approach.
research Genetic and hormonal influence on SARS-CoV-2-infection susceptibility
Men may be more vulnerable to severe COVID-19 due to genetic and hormonal factors, but more research is needed.
research Uncovering the genetic architecture and evolutionary roots of androgenetic alopecia in African men
The research found that genetic factors for male pattern baldness in African men differ significantly from those in Europeans.
research SUN-208 Rare Case of 47XXY/46XX Mosaic Klinefelter Syndrome
Mosaic Klinefelter syndrome can affect male fertility and may be missed in routine tests.
research Social selection favours offspring prone to the development of androgenetic alopecia.
Society's pressure to have children later in life favors genes that increase the risk of early baldness in male offspring.
research Discordant phenotype in monozygotic twins with mosaic trisomy 12p in lymphocytes
Identical twins had different symptoms because one had more cells with an extra chromosome fragment in different tissues.
