A man with a rare skin condition and a new gene mutation developed high calcium levels due to his treatment.
research A disease-causing novel missense mutation in the ST14 gene underlies autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome in a consanguineous family
A new mutation in the ST14 gene causes a rare skin and hair disorder in a specific family.
research Papillon-Lefévre Syndrome: A Rare Case Report and a Brief Review of Literature
Early detection and multidisciplinary treatment are crucial for managing Papillon-Lefévre syndrome.
research Dermoscopy of lipidized dermatofibromas
research Ichthyosis, Follicular Atrophoderma, and Hypotrichosis Caused by Mutations in ST14 Is Associated with Impaired Profilaggrin Processing
Mutations in the ST14 gene cause skin and hair issues by disrupting important protein processing.
research Cholesterol homeostasis in hair follicle keratinocytes is disrupted by impaired ABCA5 activity
Impaired ABCA5 activity disrupts cholesterol balance in hair follicle cells, affecting hair growth.
research Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis: Identification of a U2HR mutation in the family from the original 1925 report
Researchers found a gene mutation responsible for a rare hair loss condition.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Association of Topical Minoxidil With Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis Caused by LIPH Pathogenic Variants
Minoxidil solution applied twice daily improved hair growth in patients with Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis due to LIPH gene issues, with mild side effects.
research Clinical and molecular genetic studies in hereditary hair loss
Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
research Revised 2003 consensus on diagnostic criteria and long-term health risks related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
The 2003 consensus updated PCOS diagnosis criteria and linked PCOS to higher risks of diabetes and heart problems, recommending lifestyle changes to lower these risks.
research Improving human forensics through advances in genetics, genomics and molecular biology
DNA profiling in forensics has improved, but predicting physical traits and ancestry from DNA has limitations and requires ethical consideration.
research Hirsutism
The document likely offers guidance on treating a woman's excessive hair growth, considering her symptoms and obesity.
research The evaluation and management of hirsutism*1
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Is Required for Normal Development of Skin and Thymus
The Apc gene is crucial for normal skin and thymus development.
research Cyclooxygenases in the skin: pharmacological and toxicological implications
Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.
research Antiandrogens for the Treatment of Hirsutism: A Systematic Review and Metaanalyses of Randomized Controlled Trials
Antiandrogens are somewhat effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Hair Loss in Women
Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Folliculitis decalvans
Folliculitis decalvans is a rare scalp condition causing scarring hair loss, treated with long-term antibiotics and other medications, but it often comes back and is hard to manage.
research Female Pseudohermaphroditism Caused by a Novel Homozygous Missense Mutation of the GR Gene
A new gene mutation causes female pseudohermaphroditism due to glucocorticoid resistance.
research THE PATHOGENESIS OF ALOPECIA AREATA
Alopecia areata is likely caused by a combination of genetic factors and immune system dysfunction, and may represent different diseases with various causes.
research Epidemiology of vitiligo, associated autoimmune diseases and audiological abnormalities: Ankara study of 80 patients in Turkey
Vitiligo is linked to autoimmune diseases and hearing issues, so hearing tests are recommended for patients.
research Trichomegaly of the eyelashes following treatment with cetuximab
Cetuximab can cause excessive eyelash growth.
research Clinical Findings, Cutaneous Pathology, and Response to Therapy in 21 Patients With Keratosis Pilaris Atrophicans
