Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research A new heterozygous frameshift variant in keratin 10 resulting in ichthyosis hystrix in a father and daughter
A new genetic change in the keratin 10 gene caused a skin condition called ichthyosis hystrix in a father and his daughter.
research Gain‐of‐function variants in the ODC1 gene cause a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder associated with macrocephaly, alopecia, dysmorphic features, and neuroimaging abnormalities
ODC1 gene mutations cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with large head size, hair loss, and facial abnormalities.
research 314 Molecular genetic dissection of ILVEN leads to successful targeted therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
