Keratin 17 gene mutations cause both steatocystoma multiplex and pachyonychia congenita type 2.
research Molecular epidemiology of hypospadias: Review of genetic and environmental risk factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research WNT10A mutation causes ectodermal dysplasia by impairing progenitor cell proliferation and KLF4-mediated differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research Mutations in γ-secretase subunit–encoding PSENEN underlie Dowling-Degos disease associated with acne inversa
PSENEN gene mutations can cause both Dowling-Degos disease and acne inversa.
research Is the Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome a Keratin Disorder?
