research A novel PLEC nonsense homozygous mutation (c.7159G > T; p.Glu2387*) causes epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy and diffuse alopecia: a case report
A new mutation in the PLEC gene causes a rare condition with skin blistering, muscle weakness, and hair loss.
research In vivo alteration of the keratin 17 gene in hair follicles by oligonucleotide‐directed gene targeting
Altering the keratin 17 gene in mice hair follicles caused temporary hair issues, but changes were minimal and short-lived.
research Atrichia with papular lesions resulting from a novel homozygous missense mutation in the hairless gene
A new genetic mutation in the hairless gene causes a rare hair loss disorder.
research Decision letter: Human biallelic MFN2 mutations induce mitochondrial dysfunction, upper body adipose hyperplasia, and suppression of leptin expression
MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, unusual fat distribution, and low leptin despite high body fat.
research 277 HPV8 E6 induced STAT3 activation leads to hair follicle junctional zone keratinocyte stem cell proliferation and expansion in actinic keratoses
HPV8 causes hair follicle stem cells to grow, leading to skin lesions.
research In Silico Promoter Motif Analysis of Human Fertility-Related Genes
