research A variant of the glucocorticoid receptor gene is not associated with adrenal androgen excess in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
The N363S gene variant does not cause higher adrenal androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Chi-miR-30b-5p inhibits dermal papilla cells proliferation by targeting CaMKIIδ gene in cashmere goat
A specific microRNA, chi-miR-30b-5p, slows down the growth of hair-related cells by affecting the CaMKIIδ gene in cashmere goats.
research Compilation of a comprehensive gene panel for systematic assessment of genes that govern an individual’s drug responses
Researchers found that most genes affecting drug responses are not fully covered by commercial SNP chips, suggesting the need for more comprehensive tools to optimize drug selection based on genetics.
research Association between VDR Gene Polymorphisms and Melanoma Susceptibility in a Colombian Population
Certain VDR gene changes can affect melanoma risk.
research Analysis of gene expression patterns and levels in maize hybrids and their parents
Maize hybrids show better early growth due to complex gene interactions from their parent strains.
research Six SNPs and a TTG indel in sheep desmoglein 4 gene are in complete linkage disequilibrium
Seven genetic variations in sheep's DSG4 gene are linked and affect wool traits.

research Study on the zona pellucida 4 (ZP4) gene sequence and its expression in the ovaries of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
The research suggests that the ZP4 gene is linked to egg development in women with PCOS but requires more study to understand its role in infertility.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
research Phenotypic profiling of parents with cryptic nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia: findings in 145 unrelated families
Some parents have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia without symptoms, and they usually don't need treatment.
research Cloning, computational analysis and expression profiling of steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 (SRD5A1) gene during reproductive phases and ovatide stimulation in endangered catfish, Clarias magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research Association of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with human leukocyte antigen and killer cell immunoglobulin–like receptor gene frequency: A multiethnic population study
Certain immune system genes are linked to a higher risk of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, while others may offer protection.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Krtap16, Characterization of a New Hair Keratin-associated Protein (KAP) Gene Complex on Mouse Chromosome 16 and Evidence for Regulation by Hoxc13
