research Abstracts from the 4th Annual Student Medical Summit
The document concludes that more research is needed to reduce frequent hospital visits, addiction medicine education improves with specific training, early breast cancer surgery findings are emerging, nipple smears are not very accurate, surgery for older melanoma patients doesn't extend life, a genetic condition in infants can often be treated with one drug, doctors are inconsistent with blood clot medication, a certain gene may protect against cell damage, muscle gene overexpression affects many other genes, and some mitochondrial genes are less active in mice with tumors.
research Data from Spontaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Induced by the Somatic Inactivation of Retinoblastoma and Trp53 Tumor Suppressors
Loss of the p53 gene alone causes tumors, and losing both p53 and Rb genes speeds up aggressive skin cancer.
research Development of Heritable Melanoma in Transgenic Mice
The transgene likely activated an oncogene or interrupted a tumor suppressor gene, causing melanoma in mice.
research Isolation and characterization of a sheep cysteine-rich cuticle keratin pseudogene
Researchers found a non-functional sheep keratin gene due to mutations.
research Connexin mutations in human disease
Connexin mutations can cause various diseases like hearing loss and skin disorders.
research A Founder Mutation in the POMC 5′-UTR Causes Proopiomelanocortin Deficiency Through Splicing-Mediated Decrease of mRNA
A specific genetic mutation causes POMC deficiency, leading to symptoms like weight gain and red hair.
research Resequencing and Signatures of Selective Scans Point to Candidate Genetic Variants for Hair Length Traits in Long-Haired and Normal-Haired Tianzhu White Yak
The research found specific genes that may cause longer hair in Tianzhu White Yak.
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 Distinct transcriptomic landscapes of cutaneous basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas
Basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas have different gene activity patterns, suggesting unique treatment approaches.
research A global analysis of CNVs in Chinese indigenous fine-wool sheep populations using whole-genome resequencing

research [Association of eight single nucleotide polymorphisms of chromosomes 20 and X with androgenetic alopecia among ethnic Han Chinese from Yunnan].
Certain genetic markers on chromosome 20 are linked to hair loss in the Han Chinese from Yunnan.
research MLL histone methylases in estrogen‐mediated regulation of HOX genes involved in hair follicle development and leukemia
Estrogen and MLL enzymes work together to regulate genes important for hair growth and leukemia.
research 092 Novel biallelic RIPK4 mutations cause ectodermal dysplasia with cutaneous syndactyly
New RIPK4 gene mutations were found to cause a type of skin and limb birth defect.
research Imprinted Dlk1-Gtl2 cluster miRNAs are potential epigenetic regulators of lamb fur quality
miRNAs in the Dlk1-Gtl2 region may improve lamb fur quality.
research Pure Hair‐Nail Ectodermal Dysplasia: Expanding the HOXC13 Genotypic Spectrum
research Targeted expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase increases susceptibility to chemically induced skin carcinogenesis
Increasing SSAT makes skin more prone to cancer.
research Discrimination of Dysplastic Nevi from Common Melanocytic Nevi by Cellular and Molecular Criteria
Dysplastic nevi have unique gene expressions, making them distinct from common melanocytic nevi.
research New clinico‐genetic classification of trichothiodystrophy
A new classification for trichothiodystrophy helps identify genetic causes and potential treatments.
research A global analysis of CNVs in Chinese indigenous fine-wool sheep populations using whole-genome resequencing
Chinese fine-wool sheep have genetic variations linked to traits like milk and health, with some genes under strong selection.
research Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness Syndrome Caused by Missense Mutation in GJB2 Encoding Connexin 26 in a Chinese Patient
A Chinese man with KID syndrome had a new mutation in the GJB2 gene.
research CCDC47 gene and trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome: Report of the fifth and sixth cases from Saudi Arabia
Trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome (THNS) is an ultra-rare disorder characterized by liver dysfunction, hypotonia, developmental delay, coarse hair, and dysmorphic features. This report describes the fifth and sixth cases of THNS from Saudi Arabia, both presenting with these symptoms. Genetic analysis revealed pathogenic variants in the CCDC47 gene: a homozygous variant in Case 1 and two heterozygous variants in Case 2, confirmed to be in trans phase through parental testing. These findings contribute to a stronger gene-disease association and help clarify the clinical phenotype and mutational spectrum of THNS.
research Gene Variant in Amish a Clue to Better Aging
A genetic mutation linked to longer life and less disease was found in the Amish, and a drug is being developed to replicate these benefits.
research A global analysis of CNVs in Chinese indigenous fine-wool sheep populations using whole-genome resequencing
The study found genetic variations in sheep linked to traits like milk production, growth, and health.
