Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, affecting sexual development.
research The possible implication of the S250C variant of the autoimmune regulator protein in a patient with autoimmunity and immunodeficiency: in silico analysis suggests a molecular pathogenic mechanism for the variant
The S250C variant in a gene may cause autoimmunity and immunodeficiency by impairing protein function.
research Case Report: Compound heterozygous variants in LSS and TSPEAR genes causing hypotrichosis type 14 complicated with ectodermal dysplasia type 14
A child has a rare hair and skin disorder due to specific gene variants, suggesting broader genetic testing is needed.
research Crystalline Cataract and Uncombable Hair
The study found no common cause for a girl's crystalline cataract and uncombable hair, suggesting their co-occurrence might be coincidental.
