DNA variants can predict male pattern baldness, with higher risk scores increasing baldness likelihood.
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 Kin‐cohort analysis of LRRK2‐G2019S penetrance in Parkinson's disease
The LRRK2-G2019S mutation in Parkinson's disease has a lifetime penetrance of 25-35%, and finasteride may help reduce symptoms in adult male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research A preliminary study of finasteride in Tourette syndrome
Finasteride reduces Tourette syndrome symptoms, but results may be limited due to potential biases.
research Serological screening for coeliac disease in vitiligo and alopecia areata
Vitiligo is not linked to coeliac disease, but a small number of alopecia areata patients may have it, suggesting they should be tested for coeliac disease.
research FGFR2 is associated with hair thickness in Asian populations
A gene variation is linked to hair thickness in Asians.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.

Certain genetic variations in the SHBG gene are linked to an increased or decreased risk of PCOS in Mediterranean women.
research Studying the genetic predisposing factors in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris
Genetics play a role in acne, but how exactly they contribute is not fully understood.
