research A replication study confirmed the EDAR gene to be a major contributor to population differentiation regarding head hair thickness in Asia
The EDAR gene greatly affects hair thickness in Asian populations.
research Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
The document concludes that rapid identification, isolation, and strict infection control are crucial to manage SARS outbreaks.
research Inherited ichthyoses/generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research Genome-wide association study identifies a new locus JMJD1C at 10q21 that may influence serum androgen levels in men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Adverse effects of common medications on male fertility
Some common medications can harm male fertility, but many effects can be reversed.
research Gene-wide association study between the aromatase gene (CYP19A1) and female pattern hair loss
Aromatase gene variation may increase female hair loss risk.
research Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia
Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic condition that can cause early puberty and fertility problems, treated with specific steroids.
research Finasteride use in the male infertility population: effects on semen and hormone parameters
Finasteride can reduce fertility in some men, but stopping it increases sperm count.
research Susceptibility variants on chromosome 7p21.1 suggest HDAC9 as a new candidate gene for male-pattern baldness
A gene called HDAC9 might be a new factor in male-pattern baldness.
research The spectrum of inflammatory skin disease following jejuno-ileal bypass for morbid obesity
Some patients developed skin inflammation after obesity surgery, and a medication called dapsone helped treat it.
research Evaluation of DNA Variants Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Potential to Predict Male Pattern Baldness
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 The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
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.
research Recently Identified Forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa
Three new types of a skin blistering disease were found, caused by specific gene mutations.
research Common variants in the sex hormone-binding globulin gene (SHBG) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Mediterranean women
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.
research Desferrioxamine treatment of aceruloplasminemia: Long‐term follow‐up
Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research De novo single-nucleotide and copy number variation in discordant monozygotic twins reveals disease-related genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research A distinct gene close to the hairless locus on chromosome 8p underlies hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
research Straight hair associated with interferon-alfa plus ribavirin in hepatitis C infection
ALA-PDT is effective and safe for chronic X-ray dermatitis, providing complete or partial remission.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
