The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.
research The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research Prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in the polycystic ovary syndrome diagnosed by the National Institutes of Health 1990 criteria
Most women with PCOS have high levels of male hormones, and free testosterone is the best marker for this.
research Treatment of an alopecia areata patient with tofacitinib results in regrowth of hair and changes in serum and skin biomarkers
A patient with alopecia areata regrew hair after taking tofacitinib and showed changes in certain blood and skin markers.
research ACNE
Acne significantly affects mental health and quality of life, with research suggesting hormonal and genetic factors in its development and emphasizing early treatment to prevent scarring.
research Novel TMEM173 Mutation and the Role of Disease Modifying Alleles
A new mutation in the STING protein causes a range of symptoms and its severity may be affected by other genetic variations; treatment with a specific inhibitor showed improvement in one patient.
research The Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata in Rodent Models
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease affecting hair follicles, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, with rodent models being essential for research.
research Ulcerative colitis and total alopecia in a mother and her son
A mother and son both had ulcerative colitis and alopecia, suggesting a genetic link in autoimmune disorders and successful treatment with cyclosporine.
research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Developmental Plasticity of Patterned and Regenerating Oral Organs
Fish teeth and taste bud densities are linked and can change between types due to shared genetic and molecular factors.
research Case Report: Compound heterozygous variants in LSS and TSPEAR genes causing hypotrichosis type 14 complicated with ectodermal dysplasia type 14
A child has a rare hair and skin disorder due to specific gene variants, suggesting broader genetic testing is needed.
research Advances in the treatment of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, a look towards the repositioning of drugs
Drug repositioning offers hope for new, affordable treatments for a genetic skin disorder called ARCI.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research Updates In The Pathogenesis Of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, linked to genetic factors and immune system issues, with no cure yet.
research Effective Management of Pcos (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) through Ayurvedic Panchakarma Therapy Virechan : A Case Study
Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy, Virechan, can effectively manage PCOS symptoms and improve health markers.
research Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
The document concludes that Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus has different forms, is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and can be treated with various medications, but more targeted therapies are needed.
research Prevalence of CYP21 mutations and IRS1 variant among women with polycystic ovary syndrome and adrenal androgen excess
Some women with PCOS have CYP21 mutations and IRS1 variants, but these genetic factors are not major contributors to PCOS.
research Testosterone levels in relation to oral contraceptive use and the androgen receptor CAG and GGC length polymorphisms in healthy young women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research Light Microscopic Hair Abnormalities in Children: Retrospective Review of 119 Cases in a 10-Year Period
Over half of the children had abnormal hair under a microscope, with many having genetic hair conditions.
research Discoid Lupus Erythematosus
Discoid Lupus Erythematosus often causes scarring hair loss, is influenced by genetics and environment, and requires early treatment to prevent worsening.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, certain gene mutations cause skin diseases and could be treated by targeting those mutations, skin wrinkling may relate to lung aging due to genetic factors, and oxidative stress affects hair loss but can be reduced in low oxygen.
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 Alopecia Areata: A tissue specific autoimmune disease of the hair follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Association of Androgenetic Alopecia With Mortality From Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Disease
Hair loss links to higher death risk from diabetes and heart disease; not a direct cause, but a marker for risk factors.
research Surrogate end-points or primary outcomes in clinical trials in women with polycystic ovary syndrome?
